Gary Lineker reacted to West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta's equaliser against Newcastle United with a crisp pun.
The former England striker is well known for his affiliation to Walkers crisps and has been the face of the brand since 1994. Lineker tweeted to his 8.6 million followers: "A Paqueta crisp finish adds a bit of flavour to proceedings."
Paqueta, who was linked with a move to Newcastle back in the summer, levelled the scoring in the 32nd minute, after Callum Wilson had fired the Magpies into the lead inside three minutes.

Newcastle also had a goal ruled out after a VAR intervention adjudged the ball to have been over the line before Miguel Almiron teed up Joe Willock to score prior to Wilson's opener.
The Magpies matched their electrifying start in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Southampton with yet another action-packed opening.
"Sluggish start at St James' Park," the BBC Match of the Day presenter joked in another tweet.
However, Manchester United leapfrogged the Magpies following their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, and Newcastle failed to retain third spot with a 10th league draw of the season.
