Viktor Gyökeres scored his 21st international goal against Tunisia on Sunday.
What happened?
The Swedish striker netted in the 59th minute, lashing in Alexander Isak's layoff.
He then celebrated with his signature 'mask' gesture, interlocking his fingers and placing his hands over his mouth.
This routine has become a familiar sight for fans, with Gyökeres having performed it regularly at Sporting CP and Coventry City.
Why the 'mask' celebration?
Gyökeres hasn't directly confirmed the inspiration for his celebration, but has hinted at a reference to the DC Comics character Bane.
In a social-media post in 2024, Gyökeres shared highlights from his time with Sporting CP, including images of his goal celebration, with the caption: "Nobody cared until I put on the mask".
This phrase is a notable quote from the 2012 Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, in which Bane, played by Tom Hardy, sports an unsightly metallic mask.
What's next for Viktor Gyökeres?
Gyökeres will now look to replicate his goal-scoring form against the Netherlands, as Sweden seeks to progress in the World Cup.
The striker has been in fine form this season, having helped Arsenal win the Premier League title with 14 top-flight goals.
He will be hoping to add to his international tally and perform his iconic celebration once again.
The story behind the 'mask'
Gyökeres has shed some light on how his celebration came about, revealing that he devised the routine while on vacation with friends.
He told the club's media team: "My friends were always saying to me to find my own celebration, because they were very tired of me doing all kinds of stuff when I was celebrating".
Gyökeres has also stated that observers who perceive a Batman connection in his celebration are wide of the mark, leaving the true inspiration a mystery.
The Swedish striker will be looking to continue his impressive form and perhaps provide more clues about his iconic 'mask' celebration.
