Former Portsmouth favourite Conor Chaplin goes viral with hilarious Barnsley survival dance

He was renowned as being one of the hardest Pompey workers on the training pitch as he refined his technique.

But it appears former Blues favourite Conor Chaplin has also been spending plenty of time honing his moves off it…

That was seen in last night’s jubilant scenes at Griffin Park as the Tykes celebrated their dramatic stoppage-time victory over Brentford.

The late, late win over the promotion chasers saw Gerhard Struber’s team pull off an unlikely escape in dramatic fashion.

That sparked wild celebrations which gave the striker the platform to take centre stage with some hilarious dancing, which has since gone viral.

Chaplin brings his ‘flossing’ to the table before throwing in some freestyle steps, which has been earning laughs aplenty as his Barnsley team-mates’ joy exploded.

Rumours Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air has been hired to choreograph Chaplin’s next goal celebration remain unconfirmed…
