Roy Keane slams 'disgraceful' Leicester City after 5-2 drubbing away to Brighton

Roy Keane has slammed Leicester City for putting in a 'disgraceful' second half performance in Sunday's 5-2 hammering away to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Leicester began the game quite well, taking the lead inside a minute. Brighton turned the game on its head with two quick goals, but Patson Daka's first of the season had The Foxes level at the break.

However, only one side showed up in the second half as Brighton scored three unanswered goals to come out easy winners and heap the pressure on Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers. At the full time whistle, Keane was scathing in his criticism of Leicester players who now find themselves rooted to the foot of the table.

"Brighton, excellent in the second half," Keane's said on Sky Sports' coverage. "Leicester players, a disgraceful performance in the second half.

"They gave up the fight, gave some bad goals away, no commitment, no desire. Brendan is in trouble with that performance in the second half. The Leicester players... nowhere near good enough they gave up the fight, shocking."
