Watch: Romanian Player Scores Goal, Runs To Stand To Applaud Himself

The football celebration has gone through many iterations since football began, but few can be as cocky as that of Romanian player Stefan Blanaru, who upon scoring a relatively routine goal, had the gumption to run away from his celebrating team mates, descend upon a half empty stand and applaud his own strike.

Have a look:

Romanian football is really amazing. Best ever. Absolutely brilliant. Blanaru scores for Sibiu then goes to the stands and APPLAUDS himself. Absolute genius. Have you seen a better goal celebration? pic.twitter.com/mLBSTqtWfa

Blanaru would go on to receive a yellow card for his cheeky celebration.

Football fans were enamoured by the 28-year-old's cockiness:
