Sebastiano Esposito got to grips with manager Andrea Pirlo as the forward celebrated the win over Lecce with his Sampdoria boss. <br /><br />The Serie B side enjoyed a 2-0 win over their opponents on Saturday, with Esposito getting both goals in the victory and he couldn't hide his excitement at the final whistle. <br /><br />However, the on-loan Inter Milan star may have taken his celebrations a bit too far following an embrace with his manager. <br /><br />Grabbing the former Italian international by the scruff of his neck, Esposito shook Pirlo rigorously in jubilation at Sampdoria's victory, almost sending him tumbling to the ground. <br /><br />Thankfully the Blucerchiati boss took no offence to the gesture and the pair embraced in a hug after the wild shaking of Pirlo. <br /><br />The scenes led fans on social media to joke that the World Cup winner looked like he'd be shaken like a 'rag doll' and compare him to a scene from a festive favorite. <br /><br />Comparing the moment - and Pirlo's likeness - to Alan Rickman's character in the 1988 classic Die Hard, and the moment Hans Gruber falls to his death from a skyscraper window. <br /><br />The win for Sampdoria was their fourth win in five games and sees them currently sitting 10th in Italy's second tier. <br /><br />The famous Genoa-based club was relegated last season, leaving the top flight for the first time in a decade. <br /><br />Pirlo was appointed manager of the club in the summer, having previously had spells as boss of Juventus and Turkish side Fatih Karagumruk S.K. <br /><br />He had been under fire after a difficult start to the campaign, but the recent run has relieved some pressure on the Sampdoria gaffer.
