Alex Zinchenko left social media users in stitches after pulling out a Kylian Mbappe celebration against Port Vale.
The Man City full-back scored his side's opening goal in a 4-1 win over the League Two side at the Etihad on Saturday night.
Zinchenko fired in a speculative shot from 25 yards which took a deflection and found a way into the bottom corner in the 20th minute.
And the 23-year-old Ukrainian was so pleased with himself that he celebrated with his arms folded in a trademark celebration of French forward Mbappe.

Twitter users spotted the celebration straight away.
One post read: "Zinchenko scored a deflected goal did the Mbappe celebration against Port Vale who are 10th in League two. No shame."
Another social media user wrote: "Zinchenko genuinely doing the Mbappe celebration after scoring a deflection against a league 2 side."
Another tweet said: "There's no way that Zinchenko did the Mbappe celebration vs 10th in league two Port Vale."
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold also pulled off the Mbappe celebration after his team's 4-0 win at Leicester on Boxing Day.

The 21-year-old right back had two assists and just scored his team's fourth goal in an outstanding performance at the King Power Stadium.
Maybe Zinchenko's celebration was in response to the Liverpool full back pulling off the same move.
And it certainly got a few Liverpool fans tweeting about it if that was the Ukrainian's intention.

Man City ran out comfortable winners on Saturday night to move into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Tom Pope equalised for Port Vale in the 35th minute to give them hope of a massive upset, but that flame was quickly put out.
Sergio Aguero restored Man City's lead before the break and second-half strikes from Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Phil Foden made it a routine win.
