The 25-year-old didn't even brandish a smile as he walked off with his head down, despite having just netted for the first time for his country
And viewers have taken to social media to suggest ideas as to why he responded in such a manner.
'What a goal from Reece James,' wrote one on X. 'No celebration. Build up of frustration likely given injuries and new inverted roles. Maybe just relief.'
Another commenter noted: 'Great moment for Reece James. He had quite a challenging couple of years due to injuries. That celebration seemed like he was letting out all those held-back feelings.'
One commented: "I'm not clear on the Reece James celebration—nobody ever mentioned that he was poor; they only said he wasn’t in good shape. Whenever he’s fit, he's incredible."
Others offered lighter-hearted explanations, with someone jesting that it was "because he once played for Latvia."
Someone remarked that Reece James's goal was so impressive that he left himself speechless and even forgot to celebrate. Another X user chimed in, suggesting he chose not to celebrate as a precaution against injury.
