      Romain Esse gave Millwall a 12th-minute lead but a quickfire double from Haji Wright after the break secured them the points.
      However, Coventry and their 23-year-old Dutch full-back received some unwanted attention after moving up to sixth in the Championship table.
      Following the full-time whistle, a photograph of Van Ewijk was posted on Coventry’s Instagram page.
      However, it soon caught the eye as it appeared to show him saluting with one hand while gesturing a moustache with his finger.

      Fans quickly jumped into the comments as they alluded to the sinister connotations of the snap.
      That led to Coventry deleting the post after Van Ewijk had moved to clear up the storm with a comment of his own.
      He wrote: “I got two celebrations mixed.. please don’t see this as offensive.”
      Another post was then shared instead of it with different celebration photos, which the former Heerenveen ace replied to with: “Yeah, that’s a better pic.”

      A Coventry spokesperson told SunSport: “Milan’s celebration was in regard to the gaming character ‘Mario’.
      “Members of the Coventry City squad have been playing Mario Kart between themselves, which has started a friendly rivalry amongst the squad, as seen in our behind-the-scenes videos and recent celebrations at Norwich.
      Why the January 2024 Transfer Window Has Been So Quiet
      “Milan was putting his hand above his mouth to symbol Mario’s moustache from the video game.
      “He also was raising his arm, copying the popular celebration his team-mate striker Haji Wright has done throughout his career.
      “The club saw how the photo could be perceived without the context behind it, and as Milan quickly commented to clarify this, therefore the image was deleted.”
      Prior to the game, Sky Blues scorer Wright spoke about how Van Ewijk was “big on celebrating”.
      The USA international said: “He’s a fun guy to be around. A lot of jokes and a lot of fun.
      “He’s a good player as well so he does make it easier for us.”

      It featured a video of her playing football with her kids, Cristiano Jr, Mateo, Eva, Alana and Bela.
      Georgina lined up a penalty kick in front of an open-goal, which ricocheted off the cross bar.
      The shot had echoes of Diana Ross’ infamous penalty at the opening of the USA World Cup in 1994.
      Ross took the penalty while singing her hit “I’m Coming Out” and spooned the shot closer to the corner flag than the actual goal.

      Nonetheless, the frame of the goal was ripped in two for Diana to run through as if the power of her shot had broke the net.
      Also among Georgina’s Instagram upload were shots of her family enjoying Ronaldo’s game against Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup final.
      The opening to the match was almost as bizarre as Diana Ross’ penalty, with WWE’s the Undertaker making a pre-match appearance.
      The wrestler, 60, donned his full WWE garb and walked onto the pitch to present the trophy before the game, set to his funereal theme tune.

      He bought two Belgian Malinois last year from security firm Chaperone K9.
      Cops have yet to catch the gang who raided the Cheshire home while ten family members were watching Jack’s match on TV.
      A source said: “Jack and his family were left traumatised following the raid, but they won’t let it defeat them.

      “Jack and Sasha had only just moved in and are looking forward to building a life there.
      “It’s difficult for them knowing that the culprits haven’t been caught yet and may never face justice, but they’re keeping their head up.
      A source said: “His post is a display of strength — both for himself and his fans.”
      Jack and childhood sweetheart Sasha had moved in just five days before the burglary after tradesmen finished renovations.

      Owen has also revealed that he prays every day for a cure to be found for his son’s blindness.
      What is Stargardt disease?Stargardt disease is a rare, inherited eye condition caused by fatty material building up on the macula — the small part of the retina needed for sharp, central vision.
      The gene involved, ABCA4, helps process the breakdown of vitamin A inside the eye. If the gene is faulty, toxic byproducts of vitamin A build up in the light-sensitive cells in the eye, which then corrode and die.
      It usually causes vision loss in childhood and adolescence and symptoms can include sensitivity to light, grey, black,or hazy spots in the centre of vision, and colour blindness.
      It affects one in 10,000 people and there is no treatment or cure for the disease. More
