Sunderland midfielder Callum McManaman scored a 96th minute equaliser to rescue a 3-3 draw for the Black Cats against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
McManaman knocked home a corner at the back post to secure a much needed point for Sunderland, and instead of running towards the corner flag to celebrate, or just about anywhere else on the pitch for that matter, the 26-year-old sprinted up the pitch and immediately ran towards his former manager Tony Pulis.

McManaman was Pulis' first signing when he was manager of West Brom, however, the winger played just 20 Premier League games over two seasons at the Hawthorns.
When asked about why McManaman made a point to goad him after his goal, the Middlesbrough boss cited a lack of game at West Brom, and seemingly every other club the player has moved to thereafter.

Despite the draw, Sunderland remain rooted to the bottom of the Championship table with just five wins from 34 matches.
