  Konate and Darwin Nunez went crazy with their celebrations after Liverpool broke the deadlock against Arsenal in the 80th minute of their FA Cup third round tie. Jakub Kiwior accidentally scored an own goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick, which handed the Reds the lead.

  As a pitch invader joined the Reds star in their celebrations, Konate and Nunez patted his head hard repeatedly before the Frenchman hilariously ripped off his hat and threw it back toward the stands.
