The 22-year-old then raised both hands and refused to celebrate the strike. But why didn’t Ayari celebrate?
The Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder was born in Solna, Sweden, to parents of Moroccan and Tunisian descent. He worked his way through the youth teams of his native country before making his senior debut in 2023.
