Arsenal hero Ian Wright left fans in stitches after talking about Romelu Lukaku's "bunda" during his pre-match analysis on live TV.

However, the 57-year-old pundit was in top form when he pointed out how Lukaku used his bunda to his goalscoring advantage against Finland on Monday.

"Because the defender... there's nothing he can do to stop this. Gets his bunda into him, can't stop him," Wright said.

Wright's interesting observation of the Inter Milan star's technique left fans flooding social media with their delightful responses, with one supporter calling him an "idol."

"Protect Ian Wright at all costs," one Twitter user wrote.

Someone else tweeted: "No way I've seen Ian Wright say bunda on national TV."

While someone else added: "Man said bunda on national TV, Ian Wright is an icon."

A fourth posted: "Ian Wright saying bunda on TV confirms how real this man is."

And a fifth added: "Did Ian Wright just reference Lukaku's 'bunda' as one of his strengths?"

Borussia Dortmund star Thorgan Hazard broke the deadlock for Belgium ahead of half-time with a stunning strike past Rui Patricio.

Belgium head into half-time leading Portugal 1-0 at the Estadio La Cartuja in Spain.
