EPL: I don’t care – Tuchel reveals why Ziyech refused to celebrate goal against Brighton

And when asked after the match if Ziyech’s muted celebration was an angry response to the criticism, Tuchel told BT Sport: “Well, hopefully.

“Yeah, I’m happy. He can score 20 more and not celebrate, I’d have no problem.”
