#4 Was Nathan Ake right to celebrate?

Chelsea v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
Ake celebrates after scoring

When Nathan Ake scored, the Chelsea fans inside the Stamford Bridge fell silent. That wasn't the case for long as they started booing Ake for celebrating straight away.

The Dutch defender was back at the Bridge after being sold in the summer. He was impressive in all ways and the goal was just the icing on the cake. But was he right to celebrate against his former club? Yes.

Ake has all the right to celebrate because he was never given a proper chance in the first team. He was brought back from his loan at Bournemouth this time last season but was just a bench warmer most of the time.

Now that he has got the freedom, he has done something he's been waiting to do for a long time: showcase his talent at Stamford Bridge. The Dutchman was widely criticised by Chelsea fans but you really need to step into his shoes and see it from his point of view.
