We NEED to start watching more Argentina Primera C games because, apparently, that's where the party is at.
The third tier of Argentinian football became the new home of our favourite goal celebration of all time when Lujan's Mariano Gorosito gave the hosts a three goal advantage and marked the strike in the least predictable way imaginable.
He didn't slide on his knees, he didn't shadow-box the corner flag, he didn't do a flip. Oh no, Gorosito is made of more innovative stuff and he sprinted directly to the pitchside ambulance.
(Click to 4:59 to see the madness ensue).

Himself and a teammate leapt straight into the passenger seat and began honking the horn in celebration of the goal.
Of course the killjoy referee had to dampen the mood by booking Gorosito but it must a yellow card is well worth the place that he's earned in the hearts of football fans worldwide.
Local media had been quoted as calling the celebration “over-excited, and of questionable taste."
We think the referee and the media are a bunch of party poopers and that this is literally the best thing to happen to sport in about a decade.... We also like to over-celebrate.
