Francesco Totti: Roma captain joins list of sporting selfie takers

Roma forward Francesco Totti celebrated scoring an equaliser against Lazio by taking a selfie

Francesco Totti's selfie celebration after scoring the equaliser in Roma's 2-2 draw with Lazio sent social media into overdrive.

The 38-year-old forward trended on Twitter as he took a photo of himself with a mobile phone handed to him by one of the club's coaching staff.

But Totti is not the first player to celebrate a goal in that way, with Dom Dwyer doing the same for MLS side Sporting Kansas City in July.

The American, though, was booked.
