Gary Lineker reacts to Jack Grealish England goal and the meaning behind the celebration

Gary Lineker has reacted to Jack Grealish's latest performance for England national team against Iran. 

The Three Lions celebrated a massive 6 - 2 win over the opponents in the first World Cup group stage game on Monday, 

Grealish netted one of the winning goals for Gareth Southgate's side and dedicated his wavy arms celebration to one of his schoolboy fans. The latter had asked him to do so in case scoring a goal in the world's major tournament. 

“At City about a month ago, I met a young lad called Finley who has cerebral palsy like my little sister. He wrote to me, saying I’m his idol and he loves the way I am with my little sister," Grealish told BeIN Sports after the victory.

“We had a little laugh, a joke, I was with him for about 20 minutes. We ended up coming to the conclusion that next time I score I’ll do a celebration for him.

“So luckily for him today it was in the World Cup – I think he’d prefer that to the Premier League. So Finley that one is for you!”

Lineker loved Grealish's goal as well as the meaning behind his celebration. He took to Twitter to react, writing: "Beautiful. Well played @JackGrealish."
