Football fans have since given their reaction to Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Ian Wright picking Vincent Kompany’s goal against Leicester over Andros Townsend’s for Palace against Man City, with the majority not happy…
@GaryLineker @IanWright0 @alanshearer so far up the big club arses it is unbelievable. Townsend was a better goal all day long. Quality of the goal, not the importance

Good to see “goal of the season” is no longer the best goal, but rather the most pivotal – well done BBC – absolute joke

Pretty embarrassing boys!!!!

Big club bias. More skilful to hit the ball on the volley than to whack it with the ball already under your control #cpfc Andros is my winner.

I don’t understand. As good as Kompany’s goal was, Townsends was clearly streets ahead. It’s called “Goal of the season” not “Goal that was the most important of the season”. Sort out this top six bias right now

What a surprise someone from the top 6 despite Townsends goal being a different class to Kompanys

Fans continued to give their annoyed reaction to the presenter and pundit’s choices…

What???? Big team favouritism yet again.

What was the voting breakdown per goal? Pretty sure the public got it right #FOI

Their answers almost seem forced or scripted especially Ian Wright's

I always thought goal of the season was about the goal not the occasion. Townsend hands down was a 'better' goal. It too was in an important game. Wrong decision that

Is this Goal of the Season, or most important Goal of the Season?
