Piers Morgan wasn’t happy with the Arsenal result and it was a simple tap-in for Gary Lineker

Spare a thought – only kidding – for Piers Morgan who thought his beloved Arsenal had just secured a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace.

Except it was ruled out by VAR and the game ended 2-2, but Morgan wasn’t having any of it.

No, I won’t be deleting this because the goal was perfectly good. So as far as I’m concerned, we won 3-2. https://t.co/qUMNsEwsWK

And if you think that sounds like a simple tap-in for Morgan’s Twitter nemesis Gary Lineker, well you’d be right.

Yes, I’m pulling a Lineker – refusing to accept the result. So presumably you will agree the game should be replayed? https://t.co/mpdScTMbC6

Answer my question: should the game be replayed? https://t.co/Pzw8D1bXrB

I haven’t seen the game. Is there any evidence of cheating? Are you suggesting the referees/VAR are crooked? https://t.co/A0BRuqVOmo

The exchange prompted Scottish politician John Nicolson to wonder this.

Has Piers Morgan ever won a single verbal exchange with @GaryLineker ? https://t.co/VcfFBpN5Ha

And the answer.

No. https://t.co/mcAs9qCisi
