  WHAT HAPPENED?

  During City's 2-1 win over Bournemouth in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Haaland saw a penalty saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga in the first-half, as the Cherries took a 1-0 lead into the interval. Haaland did manage to score in the second half, tapping home Nico O'Reilly's cross, but Keane has slammed the Norway star's attitude, as well as City's as a whole.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The former Manchester United captain believes that Haaland was both "lackadaisical" in his approach to the spot-kick, and he also took issue with the fact that he was "smiling" after missing a chance later in the game. He was eventually subbed after sustaining an injury.

• WHAT KEANE SAID

  Keane said on : "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."

  WHAT NEXT?

  City will hope to have Haaland available for their next two fixtures; they face Leicester on Wednesday before taking on Manchester United in a huge derby next weekend. Haaland has scored 30 goals in 40 games in all competitions.
