Roy Keane furious as Adam Lallana escapes red card for challenge Man Utd legend ‘would’ve been sent off’ for
ROY KEANE was left fuming after Adam Lallana escaped a red card against Liverpool.
The Southampton midfielder caught Reds star Ryan Gravenberch high on his shin with his studs at St Mary’s.
Lallana, 36, was not sent off for the challenge by referee Sam Barrott nor did VAR intervene with the onfield decision.
He was only shown a yellow card as a result of the tackle.
The decision to leave the former Liverpool star on the pitch left Keane fuming in the Sky Sports studio.
He said: “I think so, he is not in control, he is not even looking at the ball.
“I would have been sent off here. I would have been 100 per cent. I would have had no complaints.
“They have looked at the player there and thought he is not really a nasty type, none of the Liverpool players are after him.
“He is an ex-team-mate. I think he has got away with one. I think it is a red.”
Keane recieved 13 red cards during his career which is the joint record in English football.
