Yarmolenko has cheeky pop at player protests against Coke and Heineken

Andriy Yarmolenko became the latest Euro 2020 star to join in the Coca-Cola/Heineken furore after his man-of-the-match display for Ukraine.

The West Ham forward scored the first goal in a 2-1 victory over tournament minnows North Macedonia in Bucharest on Thursday.

It was Ukraine's first win at the European Championship since 2012 and the three points could prove to be valuable in their bid to reach the Round of 16.

Yarmolenko was clearly in high spirits during the post-match press conference.

After completing his media duties, he spotted the opportunity to have a pop at Cristiano Ronaldo's mini-protest against official drink sponsors Coca-Cola.
