Fans in hysterics as Andy Carroll ‘does the hand of God on a yellow card’ before being SENT OFF as he celebrates ‘goal’
ANDY CARROLL left fans in stitches after being sent off while celebrating a “goal”.
The Reading ace had wheeled away in celebration after putting the ball against promotion hopefuls Luton, only for the ref to book him for a deliberate handball.
Carroll thought he had added his second goal of the evening when he put the ball in the net in the 55th minute.
However, as he wheeled away in celebration, his night soon came to an abrupt end.
Referee Tim Robinson gave Carroll, who had been booked in the first half as well, his marching orders after spotting a handball as the 34-year-old scored.
And fans rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the incident.
One fan said: “That is the most Andy Carroll 5 minutes ever ,” while sharing a screenshot of Carroll’s whirlwind five minutes since netting the opener in the 51st minute.
A second fan joked: “Andy Carroll too funny man, bro did the Hand of God when he’s on a yellow card.”
Others were less pleased with the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham star.
One fans vented: “What an idiot Andy Carroll is if he’s genuinely handled that.”
While another fumed: “Never want to see Andy Carroll in a Reading shirt again.”
