"I scored! I scored! Quick, somebody get me a Peppa Pig doll."
Stefano Sabelli has won the award for strangest celebration of all time. Easily. Maybe.
His side, Bari, beat Varese 3-0 yesterday in Serie B and the defender opened the scoring with the most gifted of rebounds from inside the six-yard box.
What followed was ludicrous.

Whilst the rest of the team embrace each other, Sabelli runs off alone and he's no sooner hoisting a Peppa Pig - yes, a Peppa Pig - doll above his head to celebrate.
You'd think it obviously means something but, no, this is just his second career goal. This could not have been planned. It couldn't have been. Right?
What are you trying to say, Stefano? You're killing us!
