It's very hard to see what he actually does. I suspect the
referee, not knowing it's a regular rite of celebration for the
player, has misinterpreted the gesture as a piece of dissent.
Sometimes players make the glasses sign to indicate to the
referee that he/she needs to wear glasses because their eyesight
must be defective as they are missing so much. Perhaps that is
the explanation.

Seems the most logical explanation to me, WB.

Though the chain of logic in the circumstances that he had just
scored seems a bit convoluted; unless of course he had
previously had a significant decision go, wrongly in his eyes,
against him.

Guess I asked for that! Though I don't think I could ever be
accused of assuming that referees thought logically[emoji56]

According to the report I read in the Italian press the caution
was because the referee interpreted the gesture as a provocation
aimed at the opposing supporters.
