Footage Shows Thomas Tuchel Got Revenge On Pep Lijnders By Celebrating Equaliser Right In Front Of Him
Pep Lijnders and Thomas Tuchel both celebrated passionately in what was a breathtaking game at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel celebrated right in front of Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders when Christian Pulisic equalised for Chelsea on Sunday.
Pulisic slotted past Caoimhin Kelleher to make it 2-2 after the Blues had been 2-0 down early on at Stamford Bridge.
It prompted some wild celebrations in a game that was played at a rapid pace and had quite the atmosphere to go along with it.
And Tuchel got a little carried away with his celebration. He ended up well out of his technical area and right in the eyeline of Lijnders, who was manning the dugout in the absence of COVID-stricken Jurgen Klopp.
Although there wasn't much focus placed in it in the aftermath of the game but it appears as though Tuchel's celebration was responding to Lijnders early antics.
It was a weekend of passionate celebrations in front of the opposition in the Premier League.
Antonio Conte had initially celebrated Spurs' stoppage time winner vs Watford right in front of compatriot Claudio Ranieri but then quickly realised what he had done.
It was similar to the scenes where Klopp toned down his celebration vs Everton at Anfield out of respect for Rafa Benitez.
On New Year's Day, Manchester City midfielder Rodri did his best impression of Emmanuel Adebayor against Arsenal after scoring a 93rd minute winner.
He took off his shirt and ran right over to the Arsenal supporters, who pelted he and his teammates with missiles.
