According to Sportbible, Bruno Fernandes had opened the scoring for the Red Devils shortly before the break at Selhurst Park. The visitors looked on course to secure a vital win away from home, only for Olise to whip home an incredible free-kick at the death to ensure the two sides share the spoils.
Bizarrely, the Palace ace refused to celebrate even as Selhurst Park broke into celebration and dance.

Why Olise did not celebrate Interestingly, this was not the first time Olise had refused to celebrate despite scoring an important goal. The peculiar reaction has been a part of the youngster from his days with Reading. Back in 2021, his former teammate Michael Morrison gave insights into Olise’s reaction when he scores. “We’d say he’s a bit weird sometimes because when he scored goals, he sometimes wouldn’t celebrate,” Morisson told The Athletic.
