Norwich City fans have been mocked over ‘pathetic’ celebrations for the stunning worldie from Marcelino Nunez on Tuesday night.
Marcelino Nunez scored twice in 10 minutes of Norwich’s win over Birmingham City to boost their Championship promotion hopes.
It gave the Canaries a lead at the break, with the Blues getting one back with Max Collinโs first-half strike. They couldn’t find an equaliser however, and their third consecutive defeat was sealed in the fourth minute of injury time.
Nunez helped set Christos Tzolis up for the third, with the result helping Norwich complete a double over Birmingham, having won 2-1 at St Andrew’s in August.
It was the goal of the season contender from Nunez to make it 1-0 that got everyone talking, but the goal celebration from fans left viewers laughing in truth…
JESUS CHRIST MAN

Norwich’s David Wagner as per Sky Sports: “It was an unbelievable strike from ‘Nacho’ – and his overall performance was brilliant too, a real 10 out of 10.
“He hasn’t had too many opportunities since I have been here and when he was played it has often been in wide areas, which isn’t really playing to his strengths.
“But tonight he was given the number 10 role and I thought he gave a perfect performance in that role.
“It’s something that really suits him as a player and after his great strike he showed it with the second goal when he got into the box to convert Kenny’s cross.
“He was also all over the pitch, working hard and we love him as a player – and as a character too.
“He isn’t one of those players who learns the language quickly but that hasn’t stopped him from being a really popular member of the group, someone who always has a smile on his face.
“Overall it was good performance and I think a deserved win.
“Now it’s about finding that consistency and trying to make it three home wins on the trot against Cardiff on Saturday.”
Birmingham’s John Eustace as per Sky Sports: “I thought the lads battled away well and could easily have taken something out of the game.
“We were up against a top team, with lots of Premier League players in there, and gave a good account of ourselves, especially in the second half.
“Obviously the first goal was an outstanding strike but the second was very disappointing from our point of view.
“We didn’t stop the cross coming in and then the marking was poor – not getting the basics right is costing us dearly at the moment.
“We had two different formations in each half, both of them attacking, and I thought we gave them plenty of problems although against a quality side like them you can always concede at the other end.
“It’s just a shame we gave ourselves so much to do by conceding twice in the first half – that is something we need to look at.”
As mentioned, Norwich fans were mocked over their ‘pathetic’ celebrations for a stunning worldie from Marcelino Nunez…
