Ruben Neves emphatically hits back at Marcus Rashford claim after Liverpool demolition

Ruben Neves appeared to claim that he owns his signature celebration and isn't copying the trend set by Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.

The Wolves midfielder, 25, capped off his side's stunning 3-0 victory over a rudderless Liverpool with a goal which he passionately revelled in. Mirroring the motion which Rashford now does after scoring - such as in United's dramatic 2-1 win against Crystal Palace at the same time on Saturday - Neves looked to suggest that the move was his own and not the English striker's .

With one hand pointing to his head and the other at his chest, the Portuguese maestro seemed to be telling fans that his celebration belonged to him first, having done the same gesture for years prior to Rashford using it. A video posted by a Wolves fan on social media showed Neves' message, as the club's official Twitter account also tweeted: "Nobody does it better," with a winking face emoji.
