Gary Lineker Reacts Brilliantly After Kyle Walker Registers Another Assist

Kyle Walker recorded another assist in Manchester City's 3-2 win over West Brom at the Hawthorns, and Gary Lineker took to Twitter to react.

The Match of the Day host famously Tweeted of how Walker wasn't worth £50 million plus and that he couldn't cross a ball.

Lineker's Tweet blew up, but he's been made to eat his words as Walker has been in fine form after signing from Spurs, becing part of an impressive City backline alongside his fellow Yorkshiremen John Stones and Fabian Delph as well as Nicolas Otamendi and Ederson.

What's more, his energy, pace and end product in the final third has also been a real difference maker for a City side whose full-backs barely offered anything last season.

And against West Brom, in a game that ought to have been much more comfortable for City, he showcased his attacking qualities yet again by crossing for Raheem Sterling in the second half.

It was the 27-year old's fifth assist in City colours, and it prompted the following Tweet out of Lineker:

The jokey reaction didn't go down well with City fans, who are still incensed about his Tweet from back in July:

How good has Walker been for City this season?
