Manchester United are into the FA Cup final by then skin of their teeth after a penalty shootout victory over Championship side Coventry City at Wembley.
Erik ten Hag's side put in another baffling display, first going into a 3-0 lead before allowing Coventry to claw the game back to 3-3.
The Sky Blues thought they had won it at the end of extra time as well, only for Victor Torp's goal to be ruled out by VAR for offside.
The embarrassment of giving up a three-goal lead meant that Man United celebrations were fairly muted at the end of the shootout, except for Antony, who for some reason decided to taunt the Coventry players by cupping his ears towards them.
While he was doing so, Harry Maguire made the slow walk over to commiserate with United's opponents, a classy gesture which was the complete opposite of the route that Antony went down.

Clinton Morisson hits out at Antony for gesture towards Coventry players
Plenty of people have hit out at Antony for his actions, including former Ireland striker Clinton Morrison, who was commentating on BBC Radio 5 Live.
"He needs to concentrate on himself because he could be playing in the Championship next season," was Morrison's scathing remark on a player who has underperformed for much of the time he has been at United.
A tough harsh perhaps, but Antony has done little in a United jersey to suggest that he is capable of performing regularly in the Premier League, so perhaps Morrison has a point.

Antony misreads the mood of United players and fans
It should probably also be noted that United were 3-0 up went Antony came on, making his gesture all the more bizarre, given that he was on the pitch for the entirety of his side's downfall.
As other United players shuffled back towards the Wembley dressing room, the Brazilian appears to have misread the mood of the fans, who understandably felt that the game was had been put to bed with United at 3-0 up.
Despite ultimately reaching a second consecutive FA Cup final, new owner Jim Ratcliffe could well decide that enough is enough for Ten Hag, and not many United fans would be upset if Antony follows him through the exit door.
