JESSE LINGARD was on the receiving end of some brutal trolling from a K League rival as his celebration was mocked.
Lingard, 31, netted an equaliser for FC Seoul in their match against Daejeon Hana Citizen.
The former Manchester United star has hit some form recently for his team, with four goals in his last nine league games.
In each case prior to the latest match on Saturday, a Lingard goal had resulted in his team winning the game.
And he may have believed history would repeat itself when he hit the back of the net with a smart finish into the bottom left corner from just inside the area just after half-time.
Ever a player to create a memorable celebration, Lingard whipped out another remarkable routine in front of the home fans.

It came after Lingard promised to perform the dance – known as the dooly and based on a cartoon character – after appearing on a talk show.
However, the visiting team had the last laugh as Hyeon-ug Kim netted a late winner.
The 29-year-old then mocked Lingard by doing his own version of the dooly dance routine.
Fans were left stunned at the move, with one fan saying: “Didn’t know the Koreans had this amount of s***house.”

A second said: “Lingard never change.”
A third said: “This is objectively hilarious.”
The result leaves FC Seoul in fifth place, still in the championship bracket due to being in the top half of the table.
The K League operates in the same way as the Scottish Premiership whereby the teams are split into championship and relegation rounds.
Lingard headed to South Korea in February of this year after being left without a club when Nottingham Forest did not renew his one-year contract in the summer of 2023.
The ex-England international had a slow start in Asia before suffering a knee injury which required him to have surgery.
He joined Forest on a free transfer after leaving Man Utd in 2022.
Lingard had come through the academy ranks at the Red Devils and had made 232 first-team appearances.
