A video has emerged yesterday evening appearing to show Troy Deeney mocking Raul Jimenez for his mask celebration during Wolves’ defeat to Watford in the FA Cup semi-final.
Jimenez found the net in the second half to double his side’s lead and then celebrated by putting on a a wrestling-style mask.
Watford then staged a stunning comeback at Wembley, scoring three goals in 30 minutes. A penalty from Deeney and a Gerard Deulofeu brace.
Asked about Jimenez’s celebration after the match, Deeney told beIN Sports: “Do you know what, I genuinely didn’t see that until now.
“There’s a bit of me that wants to say something nasty but I won’t.
“I’m glad he put that mask on, now he can wear it out now he’s a loser.
“So, yeah, enjoy the mask but we got the victory.
“Don’t get me wrong he’s a top, top player.
“I watch him and I think he’s the nuts, he’s very good, plays the No.9 position on his own really well.
“I didn’t see the mask thing, so I’m quite happy I only saw it now because I probably would’ve lost my head.
“I think you’ve got to wear the mask and do all that stuff when you know you’re going to win the game.”
