Manchester United winger Antony congratulated his teammates from the sofa after Sunday's 2-0 win at Leeds United.
The Brazilian was once again unavailable for United's trip across the Pennines, having been out since the 2-1 win at home to Crystal Palace earlier this month, but watched from the comfort of his own home as goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho sealed a fifth win in six games.
Having made three changes from the side that started midweek, Erik ten Hag watched on as his side struggled to cope with a fever-pitch Elland Road atmosphere and a relentless Leeds side. The Reds rode their luck at times but grew into the game after the break, eventually taking the lead through Rashford's pinpoint header before Garnacho doubled the lead five minutes later.
RATINGS: Rashford and Shaw good in Leeds win
United had the ball in the net twice more in the final few minutes, but both Rashford and Wout Weghorst - still looking for a first Premier League goal in red - were adjudged to be offside. Ten Hag's men rode out the remaining pressure from a manager-less Leeds with a spirited second-half performance, with Antony congratulating his teammates on Instagram.
The 22-year-old posted a picture of Garnacho celebrating and the scoreline alongside the caption: "What a win! Congrats, team! We're United!!"
When Antony will be able to join back up with his United teammates remains to be seen, with Ten Hag suggesting earlier this week that it may be sooner rather than later.
"I don’t know," the Dutchman said when asked for a potential return date. "I don’t think it is a long time but we have to see how it develops in the coming days. It is in his leg, but I can’t specify. You will understand that."
United have four days to prepare for Thursday evening's trip to Spain, where they face Barcelona in the first leg of their Europa League play-off tie.
