Roy Keane fumes at ITV commentator's verdict on Manchester United penalty vs Man City

Former captain Roy Keane insisted the officials were right to award Manchester United a first half penalty in Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.

After falling behind to Ilkay Gundogan's opener after just 13 seconds, United were handed a route back into the game just past the half hour mark, following a VAR review. Aaron Wan-Bissaka's header, which was intended to go back across the penalty area, struck the hand of Jack Grealish, who had jumped in an attempt to cut out the pass trying to reach Wan-Bissaka.

The awarding of the penalty infuriated everyone of a City persuasion, though the penalty was right to be awarded within the laws of the game concerning the handball rule. It is a rule that has found itself under deep scrutiny at various junctures throughout this season.
