It’s nice when it works on a match day."There was a long delay while the second goal was checked, with the VAR eventually ruling that Welbeck was onside."It’s so annoying, honestly," Welbeck said.
"I think I have a bit of PTSD because when we played against Fulham, and I scored, and celebrated wildly.Danny Welbeck scores Brighton's second goal against Liverpool(Image: Getty Images)"I think I was offside by like an elbow or something, which was a little bit mad but yeah it’s difficult because you want to celebrate but you don’t know if you’re offside so you have to wait for the VAR. "He was threatening throughout the whole game, and once he’s playing like that and he’s putting that amount of energy, passion and hardwork, he’s going to be really dangerous for any team he comes up against."And the former Liverpool midfielder James Milner impressed as well, setting the tone in the center of the field.
"So for me, I’m thirty-five and he’s fourty, and he is pushing every single day."It’s not normal to see it. You only see it in match day but if you see what he is doing throughout the week, and the stuff that he is not just doing on the pitch, but off it, he is pushing the standards for everyone every single day."I really hope that this isn’t his last season because he has plenty more left in the tank as you can see in his performances over the last few weeks."
