Did Ross Barkley put in the cross of the season for Romelu Lukaku's goal?

Did Ross Barkley put in the cross of the season for Romelu Lukaku's first goal in Everton's win over Leicester? See for yourself...

The Nissan Super Sunday panel discussed Barkley's man-of-the-match performance in the Toffees' 4-2 win over the Premier League champions, including his superb assist for Lukaku's header in the first half.

Andy Hinchcliffe, on co-commentating duty, described it one of the deliveries of the season, though noted while awarding Barkley the man of the match award that the midfielder must look for consistency throughout a season.

Manager Ronald Koeman said after the game: "They [Barkley and Lukaku] do not need to respond [to criticism]. They just needed to get out there and do what they normally do.

"I have defended the boys against criticism, and they showed today they are fantastic football players.

"The cross from Ross and the finish from Romelu was fantastic. This was two players at a high level this afternoon."
