And former Leeds chief , 52, was spotted celebrating wildly when Qatar defender Homam El Amin was sent off in the first half.

The scenes resulted in some on social media comparing the Canada chief to Pardew, who famously danced in the dugout when Crystal Palace took the lead against Manchester United in the 2016 FA Cup final.

One said: “Stench of off of Jesse Marsch.”

Another added: “Jesse Marsch’s celebrations on the sideline are brilliant I must say.”

A third chimed in: “If the sidelines had a rating, his would be five stars and a standing ovation.”

A fourth noted: “Jesse Marsch is absolutely loving it!”

Qatar’s Assim Madibo was sent off and when he realised the severity of the issue.

Southampton striker Cyle Larin got the rout underway by netting from close range.

Nathan Saliba, who replaced Kone, added his name to the scoresheet with a stunning free-kick and celebrated by holding his stricken team-mate’s shirt aloft.

Mohammad Manai scored a comical own goal by diverting Jacob Shaffelburg’s shot home.

And David wrapped up his hat-trick in stoppage time before a at the final whistle.
