Chelsea's co-owner was criticized for his enthusiastic goal celebration during their match against Brighton, being called a "billionaire rascal."

People couldn't help but notice Behdad Eghbali's animated celebration during Saturday's game against Brighton. The co-owner of Chelsea FC, who is of Iranian-American descent, was spotted in the director's box at Stamford Bridge, putting his finger to his lips in a playful manner. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans speculating about the meaning behind Eghbali's gesture.

Some suggested that he may have been shushing the away fans, but this has not been confirmed and is likely untrue. Others believe that Eghbali was imitating the way Cole Palmer, the young player who scored four goals in the game, celebrates his goals. Regardless of the reason, Chelsea fans were thrilled by their owner's energy and enthusiasm.

In fact, one fan even gave Eghbali a playful nickname, calling him a "billionaire rascal". Others commented on how heartwarming it was to see the owner so invested in the team's success. One fan even compared Eghbali to a "mafia boss" with his fierce yet passionate demeanor.

The support for Eghbali and the rest of the owners is not surprising, as they have always been dedicated to making Chelsea the best team possible. This dedication is evident in the amount of money they have invested in the transfer market, and it has certainly paid off so far this season. The team is currently sitting in fourth place with 13 points, just two points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Under the guidance of new head coach Enzo Maresca, Chelsea has been performing exceptionally well this season. And their strong start continued with the 4-2 win over Brighton on Saturday. With only six games played, it's still early in the season, but the team's determination and success have already won over the hearts of fans.

Their next match will be against Belgian side Gent in the Conference League on Thursday, followed by a top-flight fixture against Nottingham Forest on October 6. As always, Chelsea fans can look forward to more exciting games and celebrations from their passionate co-owner, Behdad Eghbali. Sign up for updates and news about the team to stay in the loop!
