Revolution striker Kamara given yellow card for twerking image

While New England Revolution missed out on the MLS playoffs, striker Kei Kamara gave fans something to celebrate on Sunday.

Kamara scored in New England's 3-0 win over Montreal Impact in the final round of the regular season - dubbed 'Decision Day' - but was penalized for his unusual celebration.

The enigmatic striker completed the scoring in the 71st minute, prompting a twerk - a popular dance move involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance.

But the referee was not impressed, showing a yellow card to the 32-year-old, whose dance moves would have made Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown proud.

Brown received a $6,076 fine for his end-zone celebration in Pittsburgh's season-opening NFL win over the Washington Redskins last month.

For what it is worth, Kamara's goal was impressive from a tight angle.
