Ibrahima Konaté once again showcased his playful personality during Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
The match saw its final goal courtesy of Mo Salah, who scored early in the second half. Salah celebrated in his now-familiar fashion, mimicking a bow-and-arrow shot, a gesture that has quickly become one of his signature moves.
After the goal, Salah was immediately surrounded by his teammates near the corner of the pitch, where Liverpool’s traveling supporters were joyously celebrating. Among those who rushed to join in the moment was Konaté, who added his own humorous twist to the celebration.
As Konaté approached the group, he playfully mimicked Salah’s bow-and-arrow gesture, pretending to pull back an imaginary arrow as though he were about to shoot it. This lighthearted imitation delighted both the players and fans, showing Konaté’s ability to keep the mood upbeat on the pitch.
This moment of levity is reminiscent of former Liverpool forward Sadio Mané, who was known for copying his teammates’ celebrations whenever they scored. It seems Konaté, now a key figure in Liverpool’s defense, is carrying on that tradition in his own way, much to the delight of fans and teammates alike.
