Zenit St. Petersburg won their 3rd Russian Premier League title on the trot as club captain Artem Dzyuba scored two goals and then rocked up to the ceremony in a Deadpool costume.
Zenit had a night to remember as they destroyed their nearest challengers Lokomotiv Moscow 6-1 and concluded their successful outing by lifting the trophy at the Gazprom Arena.
The celebrations had the look of normal until Dzyuba returned back from the dressing room covered in a red/black suit and took to the podium to gather his champions medal along with his son, who was dressed normally.
