Gary Lineker has slammed the angry response his now deleted Lionesses tweet garnered - labelling the backlash "ludicrous".
Lineker took to Twitter in the wake of Chloe Kelly scoring England Women's winner in the Euro 2022 final against Germany and removing her shirt in celebration.
Responding to the celebration, Lineker posted on Twitter: "The @Lionesses have only gone and done it, and Kelly is England's heroine, bra none." The tweet received an immediate backlash with the Match of the Day presenter being accused of "casual sexism". Lineker promptly deleted the post but has since spoken out to slam the entire episode.
