Manchester United players completed a lap of honour around Old Trafford after they sealed their 20th league title and fans showered them with ‘Champions’ flags, red and black scarves…and severed arms.
Pictures of the post-match celebrations, after United beat Aston Villa 3-0 thanks to a Robin van Persie hat-trick, showed left-back Patrice Evra wielding a (hopefully plastic) severed limb, as the Frenchman mocked old adversary Luis Suarez.
Suarez yesterday was caught up in yet more controversy after he bit the arm of Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, for which he was today charged by the Football Association.
But football fans are never ones to pass up such a golden opportunity, particularly not where Manchester United and Liverpool are concerned.
Evra and Suarez themselves have history, with the Uruguayan having received an eight-match ban for racially abusing the United man.
And Evra seemed to enjoy the opportunity to mock Suarez as much as the title-winning celebrations.
