Aston Villa's social media post minutes after they defeated Manchester City 1-0 at Villa Park has gone viral.
Unai Emery's side secured a crucial Premier League victory through Matty Cash's first-half strike.
The Poland international received the ball on the edge of the area from a short corner, before turning and firing the ball low beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Villa are now up to eighth in the Premier League table, with Cash's second goal of the season drawing him level as their top scorer alongside Emiliano Buendia and Donyell Malen.

It is remarkably the first time in 14 matches for club or country that City star Erling Haaland - who already has 11 Premier League goals this season - has not found the net.
And Villa's social media account appeared to aim a dig at the Norwegian with their first post-match tweet.
They wrote: "Good job Matty Cash had his raw milk and tomahawk steak for breakfast this morning."

In a YouTube video detailing his daily routine, Haaland revealed that he likes to drink raw milk and eat steak before matches, and buys the two products at a local farm shop in Manchester.
The video, which was posted on Thursday, was the first published to the Norwegian's official channel, which has already racked up over 500,000 subscribers.
The defeat to Villa ends City's nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions, though they remain ahead of rivals Manchester United on goal difference.

Arsenal are now four points clear at the top of the table after their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, ahead of second-placed Bournemouth.
Andoni Iraola's side continued their fine run of form with a 2-0 victory at home to Nottingham Forest, while third-placed Sunderland defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday through Chemsdine Talbi's stoppage-time winner in the second half.
