Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has deleted a tweet trolling Premier League title rivals Liverpool earlier today.

Liverpool drew 1-1 against Leicester on Wednesday and moved five points ahead of City – who lost 2-1 Vs Newcastle.

It meant that City fell just a point – rather than three – further behind Liverpool in the title race.

However, City defender Walker tweeted a photo of Harry Maguire which became popular last summer, with the phrase: “So basically they thought they were gonna go 7 points ahead.”

MySportDab report Walker quickly deleted the tweet but not before fans spotted what hehad done.

A fan reacted and wrote: “Kyle Walker is an embarrassment – gloating about Liverpool not extending their lead over them.”
