“Was Sergio Ramos offside?” It’s Sergio Ramos. He is basically never playing by the rules.

Some held referee Mark Clattenburg and the officiating staff responsible for the goal being allowed...

Can't see anyone taking MOTM away from Clattenburg tonight. He's in inspired form.

...While others took the opportunity to poke fun at the Spanish defender:
Incredible that Sergio Ramos managed to overcome his haircut to score that goal

Sergio Ramos did it for all of us who stuck by him through the long hair and bedazzled jeans phase

Next time I go to the barbers I'm going to ask for the Sergio Ramos because that haircut is painfully nang

Now Sergio Ramos just has to get sent off before halftime to complete The Full Ramos.
