Watch Ukraine's Yevhen Konoplyanka's cool penalty with a celebration to match

Yevhen Konoplyanka's new-born baby girl might not know, but she's already famous.

After coolly stroking home from the penalty spot to extend Ukraine's lead over Belarus, Sevilla's new signing Konoplyanka grabbed the ball and stuffed it up his shirt.

Don't worry, he wasn't nabbing it, he was just celebrating the birth of his baby girl. His team-mates joined him in the celebrations, putting their arms out in front of their bodies and swaying them from side to side as if cradling a baby.

It mirrored the iconic moment Brazil trio Mazinho, Bebeto and Romario "rocked the cradle" at the 1994 World Cup.
