Sarr imitated the celebration of Mateta’s registered trademark after his goal, hitting the corner flag. The striker suffered an unpleasant head injury during the 3-1 victory last weekend over Millwall in the FA Cup when goalkeeper Liam Roberts kicked him in his ear while trying to clear a long ball.
