Eberechi Eze’s next goal celebration has been determined by YouTuber IShowSpeed after the Arsenal forward was beaten by the influencer in an EA Sports FC battle.
The best-of-three showdown was ultimately decided in favour of Speed, the 21-year-old streamer who has amassed 61.7 million subscribers on YouTube.
As a result, Eze will have to do a celebration of Speed’s choosing — a combination of Cristiano Ronaldo’s trademark “siuuu” ritual and the streamer’s signature bark, as well as a badge tap and a knee lift.
The Arsenal attacker chose Paris Saint-Germain for the opening match, with Speed questioning his decision not to choose Arsenal.
“I ride or die for my team, but on FIFA?” Eze replied. “I’m not sure about that.”
Eze did play with his own team in the second game, before he lost to Speed who — playing as Bayern Munich — scored a dramatic late winner in the decider through ex-Tottenham man Harry Kane.

Speed initially suggested his own cross-arms celebration followed by twerking, a combination Eze rejected after laughing and saying: “I won’t lie to you, that bounce thing is berserk.”
He revealed he did not know how to backflip, which was option two, so the pair settled on the Ronaldo-inspired celebration.
