Legendary England goalscorer Gary Lineker took to Twitter last night to praise Sebastien Haller‘s stunning equaliser for West Ham against Crystal Palace.
The ex-Leicester City, Everton, and England man hailed the West Ham striker’s bicycle kick as ‘sensational’ and a ‘hallelujah’ of a goal.
Twitter: Sensational overhead kick from Sebastian Haller. A Hallelujah of a goal. See it on @BBCMOTD tonight. 10.45 (@GaryLineker)
Lineker wasn’t alone in his praise of the 26-year-old as Trevor Sinclair, the aficionado of the overhead kick and former Irons winger, joined the party to describe Haller’s effort as ‘beautiful’.

Haller, who at times looks bereft of confidence, will have been delighted to earn a point for West Ham, especially with such a stunning strike.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
If anyone at West Ham needed an overhead kick to ignite their season, it was the powerful Ivorian.
Despite his recent match-winning goal at Sheffield United, Haller has struggled to find consistent form even with his recent run of starts in the absence of Michail Antonio.
Let’s hope this is the moment when the £45m man finally arrived as a West Ham player, although there is always the chance we could be saying the same thing in the not-too-distant future if it turns out to be yet another false dawn.
