CHRIS Maguire admits he was stunned to find out his goal celebration last weekend had made waves across the world.

The Oxford United forward kept his cool to tuck away a 93rd-minute penalty which earned a dramatic 2-1 win against Peterborough United.

But it was what he did next which made him a hit online.

Ben Alnwick had attempted to put Maguire off by telling Maguire where to direct his spot-kick, so after scoring, the Scot mocked the Posh goalkeeper by standing on the goal line and diving.

Clips of the celebration went viral, with one version on YouTube watched almost 200,000 times.

He said: “To be honest, it’s a bit surprising.

“The keeper tried to mug me off a bit, so it was just a bit tongue-in-cheek back.

“There was no disrespect, just a spur of the moment thing.

“On Saturday night my phone kept going as everyone saw it and the next thing I knew it was all over the place.

“I thought it would be quite funny and it has been.”

While many enjoyed the celebration, some felt it was poor sportsmanship.

But Maguire has no regrets.

He said: “Everybody knows if you give it out you’ve got to be able to take it.

“Turn it round, if I miss a penalty the keeper’s going to be jumping around going crazy in the 93rd minute.

“Obviously I was delighted to get the win and if he didn’t do that then the celebration would’ve been towards the crowd.

“Instead it was towards him.”
