Roy Keane leaves studio in stitches with reaction to future son-in-law scoring for England vs Ireland

The king of humour was back with another one-liner.

Roy Keane left the ITV studio in stitches with a priceless reaction to soon-to-be son-in-law Taylor Harwood-Bellis scoring for England versus Ireland.

Harwood-Bellis is engaged to Leah, the daughter of United legend Keane.

The Southampton defender made his debut for the Three Lions senior team after progressing through the ranks at u21 level.

And off the bench, he made an immediate impact, scoring a well-taken header to make it 5-0.

When asked on the goal post-match, Keane’s reaction was as hilarious as ever:

“It’s not done and dusted yet. Things can change very quickly in the Keane household!”

After a tightly-contested first-half, the sending off of Liam Scales changed the game drastically.

Lee Carsley’s side then scored three goals in just five minutes, before Jarrod Bowen and Harwood-Bellis later sealed the deal.

Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson was ‘lost for words’ on the defeat:

“I’m lost for words. Six minutes of madness. It was a shock, conceding a penalty, conceding a goal, losing a player.

“We lost our heads at that moment, leading into the second and third goals.

“It’s easy to sit and criticise on the sideline. After the first half, coming in, it’s a game like we wanted it to be. We defended compact, they didn’t find ways to play through us.

“Conceding so early in the second half, losing a player, conceding another two, it’s easy to criticise – it’s normal, but excuses when you lose 5-0 are pathetic. It’s embarrassing.”
