Roy Keane and Graeme Souness in furious argument on ITV that leaves Joe Cole speechless

Roy Keane and Graeme Souness were involved in a fiery bust-up as they shared different opinions on the decision to award Argentina a penalty in their World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia.

Lionel Scaloni's side were given a spot-kick inside the opening 10 minutes when Leandro Paredes was pulled down. The referee didn't initially give a penalty before VAR intervened. They instructed Slavko Vincic to go over to the monitor, and he felt that Paredes had his shirt pulled unfairly, handing Lionel Messi a chance to open his account.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner duly obliged and coolly slotted the ball into the bottom corner, sending the Saudi goalkeeper the wrong way. Argentina dominated the rest of the first half, although Scaloni's side saw three goals ruled out for offside, with the Green Falcons' high line working a treat throughout.
