Fans tease commentator Andros Townsend after claiming he 'didn't recognise' Robert Lewandowski

Andros Townsend has emphatically claimed that he was better than Poland and Barcelona superstar Robert Lewandowski after the 34-year-old striker scored his first-ever World Cup goal against Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Townsend is working as a pundit on ITV Sport at the World Cup after being granted permission to leave Premier League side Everton as England's top-flight enjoys a winter break over the tournament's duration.

The Everton forward made his startling revelation as Poland celebrated their first World Cup points after brushing Saudi Arabia side with a two-nil victory in the Middle East.
