Moussa Sylla on his chances, goal and celebration

On Saturday (14/12), Moussa Sylla was close to bringing out his celebration on multiple occasions before he was finally able to on 72 minutes. After his equaliser against Fortuna Düsseldorf, the striker put the ball under his shirt and his thumb in his mouth. “The celebration was for my wife. She’s pregnant. We’re really excited about a new addition to the family,” said the 25-year-old. He doesn’t want to say yet if it’s a boy or a girl.
