Minnesota receiver Adam Thielen admitted he stole his soccer-style knee-slide celebration from team-mate Kyle Rudolph after helping the Vikings to a 33-16 victory over the winless Cleveland Browns.
Thielen was named man of the match - not a distinction usually granted in the NFL - by broadcasters after hauling in five catches for 98 yards and a score at Twickenham.
And he fully embraced the comparisons between the sports as he turned up to the post-game press conference in an Arsenal shirt.
The 27-year-old said he first got the idea for his celebration when he was a member of the Vikings team that played at Wembley in 2013, but he was made to wait and it was tight end Rudolph who reminded him this time around.
When you score a touchdown in the UK, you knee slide.

"When we came over here about (four) years ago, I thought that would be really cool," he said. "I always played (the computer game) FIFA growing up and seeing those guys celebrate, I got inspiration from that.
"But I suppose I stole it. Kyle Rudolph did it in practice the other day, I saw it and wanted to do it. I beat him to the punch I guess."
