Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-2 in the Premier League on Sunday, but it was Man Utd's manager Louis van Gaal who stole the limelight with an amazing piece of touchline behaviour
In a peculiar but funny moment, Van Gaal was seen hurling himself to the ground after a discussion with fourth official, Mike Dean.
Unhappy at the perceived theatrics of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, the United boss made his feelings clear to Dean by mocking his actions on the touchline.
His colourful protest drew an enormous cheer from United fans, and even a sporadic and rare outburst of 'Louis Van Gaal's red and white army' from the Stretford End.
Needless to say, the Internet quickly responded with memes and reactions to the Man Utd boss' moment of madness

Besides football, Louis van Gaal was making his debut everywhere, from boxing...
With all the diving, Van Gaal would be pleased to know that someone made sure that he would land safely!
Jokes aside, Van Gaal has apologised for his 'theatrical' act and admitted that he allowed his emotions to get the best of him
He said: "That was too emotional - it is not good for the referee and the linesman and the fourth official.
"It doesn't happen much normally - I have had a lot of criticism because I am sitting on my bench and now I am off my bench and I have lot of criticism because I'm doing that.
"I have apologised to the referee and the linesman and I hope everything is solved. I have to control my emotions and I have said that also to my players."
