Caption competition winner 120
An exuberant Diego Forlan tears his shirt off to celebrate his winner for Manchester United against Southampton.
Put a caption to the action to win a goodie bag.
After scoring Man Utd's last-gasp winner against Southampton, Diego Forlan ripped off his shirt in delight. But with his top in a tangle, he had some trouble getting it back on, and had to enlist help from the dugout to get dressed again. We asked you for your comedy captions, and this week's winner was Peter Hayes of England, who came up with this witty wonder: Forlan models Manchester United's new beach football away shirt. Well done Peter! Your prize bag is on its way. See below for this week's second and third-placed captions - plus the best of the rest.
