Leicester's equaliser against Liverpool on Wednesday night gave Manchester City hope in the Premier League title race - and Kyle Walker the perfect excuse to bring out a Harry Maguire meme.
The Foxes defender struck to earn his side a 1-1 draw at Anfield and prevent Jurgen Klopp's men from extending their lead at the top of the table to seven points.
It meant that City fell just a point - rather than three - further behind Liverpool in the title race following their surprise defeat at Newcastle on Tuesday.
Walker took to social media on Thursday afternoon to poke fun at Mohamed Salah and Co after they dropped points, sharing the popular image of goalscorer Maguire talking to his partner Fern Hawkins during last summer's World Cup in Russia.
Alongside the photo, which was taken after England's dramatic penalty shootout win over Colombia, Walker tweeted: 'So basically they thought they were gonna go 7 points ahead...'.
However, the tweet only remained online for around 10 minutes as Walker appeared to react to an online backlash by deleting it.
The picture of Maguire, which shows him chatting to his girlfriend with one arm resting on a glass barrier, went viral during the Three Lions' run to the semi-finals.
The Leicester defender became a fans' favourite during the tournament and even tweeted the photo himself, adding the caption: 'Can You ask the neighbours to put the bins out on Monday? We're not going home just yet'.

please shut up haters . yesterday Klopp was so Stupid with his choice ok . but the Refree Atkinson killed the game and Stole us the 3 points. so the 7 points gap . about Harry Maguire he did a lot of Mistakes yesterday he deserved at least 2 yellow card one the first one when he stoped Salah with Chilwel in the penalty area by hitting the Egyptian with his arm on Salah's Neck (in the photos below) there is no diving there the hit is clear Atkinson saw the action also the second refree behind was well positioned but they didn't gived us a deserved penalty . the second one Maguire deserved a direct Red Card when he stopped Sadio Mané sprint alone .the same action happened the day before in Everton's game Lucas Digne was sent off directly . the Third one the Perreira mistake on Naby Keita was penalty but Atkinson was against Liverpool from the beginning .if it was on Sterling or Sané or Silva or Aguero or Son or even Harry Kane they will give a penalty and a yellow to the opponent .but unfortunatly its about Liverpool. without talking about the offside against Sadio Mané in the last minute where there wasnt any offside .

Besides being a fierce competition, soccer is just social activity meant to bring joy, fun, happiness and unity among funs and players. This goes without saying jokes and remarks are welcome to boost morale and funny. What Walker shared on twitter is part and parcel of the expressions of soccer funny and joy of soccer. It's not war .
So why creating a mountain out of an ant hill. Only stupid people without a sense of humour can fall in this shameless pity. let us be happy, enjoying soccer through sharing social jokes and funny comments.
Take it easy brothers. Whether you are Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal or Barcelona, at the end of the day, we are all soccer lovers. Let us support soccer for soccer's sake and be happy.
