Best of social media

Tottenham are trying to hunt leaders Leicester down in the race for the Premier League title and Spurs striker Harry Kane posted a picture on Instagram of a pride of lions shortly after the Foxes drew 2-2 with West Ham on Sunday.

Will Harry Kane and his Tottenham team-mates be lions when they play at Stoke on Monday and try to narrow the gap on Premier League leaders Leicester?

And finally...

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere posted an image on social media following his side's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace with the words 'This is our club - today and forever' overlaid on the silhouette of three players. The only problem was - as people were quick to tell him - the image was actually a statue of Manchester United legends George Best, Sir Bobby Charlton and Denis Law. Wilshere promptly deleted the post. (Express)
