"You call it stupid.

I call it stupid.”

There is no getting away from it: it was downright stupid!

And did he forget he got booked?

You can’t blame them either.

Andy Robertson is such a great player, such a great bloke and he was vice-captain so led the team on the night.

He was brilliant in the post-match interview with Sky’s Juliette Ferrington and there was no defence - just a case of: well, he won’t do that again.

You bet he won’t.

And Isak is breathing down his neck.

Now Isak gets a trip to the Palace on Saturday with Ekitike in the stands.

So, I love to see players show emotion, celebrate and do mad things.
