Why Garnacho refused to celebrate

Garnacho refused to celebrate his sensational goal late in the second half, and Fernandes explained the reason why.

"Garnacho scored a banger but didn't celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans. I told him people will always moan but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do," he said via Sportbible.

"I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference makers. They are the ones who win us games. We want them to score every game but that isn't going to happen."
