Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has responded to suggestions of a 'message' behind his recent goal celebration amid reports of a possible exit with his current contract expiring at the end of the season.
'Sha-Sha' was on rescue duty with his goal enough to earn Sundowns a vital point in their 1-1 draw in a CAF Champions League group stage match against AS FAR.

His heroics come in a week that has been riddled with reports of a possible exit from the club, having entered into the final six months of his deal.
Some sections of the football community suggested the Namibian's 'silence' celebration could have been a cryptic message to his critics amid the talk surrounding his future.
However, the former Highlands Park hitman has poured cold water over the suggestion.
"No, there is no message [behind the celebration]," Shalulile told journalists at Loftus Versfeld after the match.
"It's about a Scripture. It's the reason behind it. It's not about anyone, it's not for anyone.
"I don't do those types of things for people, but because there is a Scripture that says; 'Be still and know that I am God'."

The 31-year-old's contract will remain a hot topic over the next couple of weeks and given his recent performances, it would come as no surprise if Sundowns were to offer him a new deal.
In the meantime, reports suggest that offers for the two-time PSL Footballer of the Season from North Africa and the Middle East have already been tabled to the Tshwane giants.
