Gary Lineker says he 'loved' seeing Antony’s moment of skill against FC Sheriff on Thursday night.
The incident sparked heated debate about showboating during a match after Robbie Savage called it “embarrassing” and Paul Scholes labelled him a “clown”. A number of his club team-mates have jumped to the defence of Antony, as has countryman Neymar.
Erik ten Hag says he is all for his player showing skill if there is an end product. “When it's functional and it’s winning the football match, I’m OK with it,” he said.
