Mateusz Klich won the hearts of Leeds United fans everywhere with his cheeky gesture during the clash with relegation-threatened Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
Ezgjan Alioski’s freak goal gave the Whites a nervy 2-1 win to keep them on track at the top of the Sky Bet Championship.
United were heading for a frustrating draw when Bolton goalkeeper Remi Matthews made a mess of Alioski’s overhit cross midway through the second half and gifted Leeds three valuable points.
Patrick Bamford’s early penalty appeared to have put Marcelo Bielsa‘s side on course for a routine victory but Mark Beevers quickly equalised as Bolton gave as good as they got in an even contest.
There was a flash point in the second half when Josh Magennis caught Alioski in the back and sparked a melee on the touchline which saw Bolton boss Phil Parkinson receive a red card.
As Gary O’Neil tried to act as a peace-maker, Klich crept round the back of the brawl and squirted Joe Williams in the neck with a water bottle.
Although seemingly innocuous, it sparked a furious reaction from plenty of the travelling players and members of staff.
