ANTHONY ELANGA scored a wondergoal against former club Manchester United as fans hailed it the “goal of the season” – but left viewers divided with his celebration.
The Nottingham Forest star, 22, gave his side the lead within five minutes with an outrageous solo effort.
https://twitter.com/septimusajprime/status/1907148084414472651As the Midlanders cleared their lines from a corner, Elanga picked the ball up in his own half.
The Swedish international weaved his way through three defenders and kept going all the way into United's box.
He then poked the ball past Andre Onana to give Forest the lead.
Elanga, showing respect for the club he joined aged 12, refused to celebrate.
But fans were more than happy to celebrate on his behalf.
One wrote on X: “Elanga just scored the goal of the season against United.”
Another said: “Elanga becomes 2012 Messi.”
A third compared him to Liverpool's leading man, writing: “Elanga wtf!! That was Salah’s standard.”

However, some supporters were frustrated with Elanga's celebration, pointing to the way he was treated by United, as he was shoved out the Old Trafford exit in 2023.
One pointed out: “Elanga celebrate man the deserve the rudest celebration for the way they treated you.”
But another countered: “Elanga that was some cold celebration.”
Another summarised: “Fair play to Elanga though. Outstanding goal and a very muted celebration. Showing his respect and class.”
