Lucas Thanks His Teammates

Lucas Leiva has thanked his Liverpool teammates after they dedicated Sunday's goal celebrations to his new son Pedro Lucas.

The Brazil international became a father for the first time this week when his wife Ariana gave birth in a Liverpool hospital.

And so after both goals during our 2-0 win in Sunderland the players joined him in a 'rock the baby' celebration which was made famous by Brazilian World Cup winners Bebeto, Romario and Mazinho during USA 1994.

Once the match had finished Lucas tweeted: "Great result and even better celebration thanks Dirk and Luis for the goals and all the team for the tribute."
