Everton winger Andros Townsend really just did Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siuuu' celebration after equalising against Manchester United - moments after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner came on.
Ronaldo started on the bench this afternoon after playing a full 90 minutes against Villarreal in midweek.
He came on with United leading 1-0 thanks to an Anthony Martial strike - but Townsend spoiled that.
The winger fired past David de Gea and immediately wheeled away to the corner flag to bust out his celebration.

Townsend leapt into the air and landed in the exact same pose as Ronaldo and BT Sports' cameras picked up his reaction.
You just know that has to have stung.
Fans have reacted to Townsend's celebration and they think it's the kind of sh**housery that makes the Premier League special.
That's one of the funniest things I've seen all year :large_blue_circle: https://t.co/MfnmM2zYwV

It was a much changed United side with Ronaldo on the bench alongside Paul Pogba.
Coming into the side Edinson Cavani and Martial, who opened the scoring with his first goal in eight months.
The Frenchman bent home a lovely effort and left Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina on the floor.
But Townsend's strike got a depleted Toffees back in it.
Mina then thought he'd given Everton shock lead late on but he was correctly judged to be offside.
