Former England striker Gary Lineker was forced to delete a contentious tweet in the aftermath of the Lionesses’ Euro 2022 glory.
Sarina Wiegman’s side ended a long 56-year wait for a major trophy at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, with Chloe Kelly prodding home the winning strike during extra-time. That winner came after Ella Toone and Lina Magull exchanged strikes within the 90 minutes.
The goal triggered a mass outpouring of emotion across the nation and indeed on social media, with many taking to Twitter to hail the Lionesses for their success. Indeed, Manchester City striker Kelly was on the receiving end of plenty of praise for her winning goal.
