Roy Keane offers 'clever' verdict on Jack Grealish amid Man City penalty confusion

Roy Keane praised Jack Grealish for his role in the penalty which was scored by Riyad Mahrez to send Manchester City into half-time 3-0 up against Aston Villa.

The City winger was fouled by Jacob Ramsey to earn a penalty against his former team, with City already 2-0 up after goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Rodri. The penalty was well dispatched by Mahrez to hand City a comfortable half-time lead and enable Pep Guardiola to bring off Erling Haaland at half-time with the game looking won.

Keane and Grealish worked together at Villa when the £100 million man was breaking through and the foul to give City the penalty was well won. This drew praise from Keane on Sky Sports' coverage of the match, with the foul being discussed at half-time with Micah Richards.
