Man Utd flop Antony sparked controversy with his celebration against Coventry City.
Ellis Simms pulled a goal back 19 minutes before full-time, before Callum O'Hare's deflected strike closed the deficit to one.That wasn't the end of the drama though. Mark Robins' side thought they'd pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in FA Cup history when Victor Torp finished past Andre Onana in the 121st minute, but VAR ruled out his effort for a marginal offside.
The moment Hojlund's penalty hit the back of the net, most of United's stars showed a touch of class by immediately consoling their crestfallen opponents.However, the same cannot be said of Antony. The Brazilian has failed to make his mark at Old Trafford since his £86 million move from Ajax two years ago, yet he chose to goad the Coventry fans after his side avoided an embarrassing defeat.
According to Manchester Evening News journalist Tyrone Marshall, Antony cupped his ears to the Coventry fans.Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Clinton Morrison said: "He needs to concentrate on himself because he could be playing the Championship next season..."
