In an appearance on the Men In Blazers podcast, he stated: "I was mad because (of) something completely different, it was nothing about that.
"I was super happy that Julian (Alvarez) came on and scored as well, of course I would love to score more goals but I wasn't mad or anything about getting subbed off.
I'm happy for the guy that got substituted on for me and that's how it is."
