Gary Lineker has issued a defiant response to critics after a now deleted tweet about England hero Chloe Kelly caused offense in the aftermath of the Lionesses' monumental win against Germany on Sunday.
Like many others, including the 17.4 million viewers who tuned in to watch the final on the BBC, Gary got very involved in the game, tweeting at regular intervals throughout the 90 minutes and extra time. He was quick to praise Ella Toone's well taken goal which put England ahead, before declaring: 'Ah bu**er, Germans being Germans," when the opposition equalized.
When substitute Chloe found the net in the second half of extra time, the former England striker turned Match of the Day host reacted: "You beauty! before posting a now deleted tweet at the final whistle which read: "The Lionesses have only gone and done it, and Kelly is England’s heroine, bra none.’
