The situation escalated when Cousins, feeling repeatedly wronged, shouted explicit obscenities at the referees. In a moment of sheer frustration, he flipped off the officials, making his displeasure clear.
This outburst, sparked by perceived unfair officiating, quickly became a talking point among fans and analysts.
