Gary Lineker expressed delight at Leicester City’s dramatic last-minute victory over West Brom at The Hawthorns. Despite initially falling behind to Kieran Dewsbury-Hall’s header, Josh Maja’s late goal appeared to secure a draw for the Baggies. However, in the 94th minute, Leicester capitalized on a counterattack, and Harry Winks scored into an empty net, securing a 3-point victory for the Foxes. Lineker celebrated on Twitter with the playful comment, “He scores. He Winks,” accompanied by a winking emoji.
Despite West Brom’s commendable effort to secure a draw against the league leaders, manager Carlos Corberan’s decision to push for a winner in the final moments without leaving anyone back in their own half proved costly.
This lapse allowed Leicester to capitalize on the situation and snatch the victory. The outcome is disheartening for players and fans, turning potential earned points into a disappointing loss. However, there is optimism for future improvement under Corberan, given the team’s overall progress, with lessons learned from this setback.
He scores. He Winks. 😉
