The former Everton striker was not impressed by the Dutchman against Manchester United.
Everton have picked up a dramatic late draw against Manchester United in the Premier League today.
A late goal from Leighton Baines, from the penalty spot, gave Everton a point from a game it looked as though was getting away from them.
They found themselves 1-0 down to a goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovic that was frankly avoidable.
Gary Lineker – Everton
Anthony Martial’s through ball found Zlatan, but Ramiro Funes Mori was in close quarters. Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg then inexplicably decided to rush off his line into no-man’s land and Zlatan punished him with a sumptuous lob.
It was a decision from the Dutch goalie that clearly got a reaction from former Everton striker Gary Lineker. The BBC Match of the Day presenter, who spent one very successful season at Goodison Park as a player, had this to say after Stekelenburg’s mistake:
When Everton signed the player from Fulham in the summer, following a loan spell at Southampton under the guidance of Ronald Koeman, it was expected he arrived as a second-choice to another new goalie.
But Everton did not bring another stopper in and that decision is beginning to backfire.
