Footballers celebrate goals in different ways. Some unveil quirky dances, others keep it simple but on Monday night, Hammarby's Kennedy Bakircioglu took it up a notch.
The 37-year-old is in his final season with the Swedish club and having been brought on to replace Jappe Andersen with 73 minutes on the clock, few could have anticipated what was to follow as he netted a stunning free-kick from 30 yards out.
A cult hero among supporters - and those averse in the popular video game Football Manager - he raced off in celebration before catching a beer thrown from the crowd and drinking it to toast his stunning strike.

The game was going well for the hosts and when Kennedy entered the action, Hammarby were 2-0 up after goals from Bjoern Paulsen and Jiloan Hamad from the penalty spot.
But all the headlines will lay at the feet of Kennedy who produced a trademark free-kick to cap off a fine home win in the Allsvenskan.
'It was a beer that was thrown in with joy. I managed to catch it and get a little bit. I thought it was awesome, a funny thing,' Kennedy told Swedish broadcaster C Moreafter the victory.
The opposition goalkeeper had no chance as Kennedy found the top corner with a fine strike
He has been left frustrated at a lack of minutes but made it count coming off the bench
'I've been waiting for this chance for a long time. I just hoped to come in and now I had to come in. I think it's my third free kick goal against Gothenburg. It works well against Gothenburg.'
Kennedy has struggled for regular game-time in his final season at the club and has had to accept a role on the bench.
But boy did he take his chance when it came on Monday night. Finding the top corner with deadly precision, the attacker more than merited a sip of the supporters beer after a stunner such as that.
