Maybe he was the one who had to drop out as Millwall were down to 10 men?

Suggestions were he was the player who had been nominated not to take one as we only needed 10 due to the Millwall sending off.

Is that how it works?

We had to nominate a player not to take a penalty due to their red card, perhaps could be due to that? Seems strange he would leave the field (he may have had to), but not joining in the celebrations is even stranger. In short, I have no idea. Hope this helps.
Is it PotG?

we'd have probably struggled with a penalty shootout if wed nominated ryan to leave the pitch...

Not leave the pitch obviously. But not be one of the ten taking penalties.
I'm baffled why the team that didn't have a player sent off should be punished?! Daft rule unless I've missed something glaring.

Because if it had gone to 10 all, 'Wall would then have their best penalty taker having another go against our worst pen taker.
its not really a punishment, if it had got that far, we would have had our presumably worst penalty taker taking a pen, whilst millwall revolved back round to presumably their best. You have to nominate a player to leave the pitch to even the sides, if wed nominated ryan he would have had to leave.

We would be punished if it got to 10 all and they go back to 1st choice taker and we get our last choice taker

Because it would be Brighton who would be punished. Assume its 10-10, our 11th player (Montoya) is taking the 11th penalty, but they get to have their best penalty-taker taking theirs

Aaaaaaand there's the glaring thing I missed. Cheers.

In the unlikely event of it being even after 10 pens each, we would be left with presumably our worst penalty taker to take the 11th while they would be back to their 1st choice.

Bizarrely I'm just watching it in the Emirates lounge at Dubai airport, and saw Montoya on the pitch celebrating at the end. So he did celebrate with the team
