Roy Keane has once again criticised Erling Haaland, this time for his 'lackadaisical' penalty miss during Manchester City's FA Cup quarter-final win over Bournemouth. The Norwegian striker missed from the spot in the first half before scoring a tap-in to level the scores, with Omar Marmoush netting the winner.
Speaking on ITV Sport, Keane said: 'Haaland missing a penalty, very lackadaisical, then he missed another chance and he's smiling. Man City strolling around the pitch are really getting on my nerves, not a good sign.' The former Manchester United captain had previously described Haaland's general play as that of a 'League Two player' after a 0-0 draw with Arsenal in March 2024.
Haaland has scored 30 goals in all competitions this season but endured a difficult spell towards the end of last year, scoring once in seven Premier League games. Despite his impressive goal tally, pundits have questioned his performances off the ball.
The striker ended the game on a low note after appearing to hurt his knee. Manager Pep Guardiola said: 'I saw him on the massage table but I didn't speak with him or the doctors so I don't know.'
