Roy Keane slams Jack Grealish after Man City star's role in dubious Aston Villa penalty

Roy Keane scathingly compared Jack Grealish to Team GB diver Tom Daley after the Manchester City winger won a controversial penalty in Sunday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.

Grealish theatrically went down under Jacob Ramsay's challenge at the end of the first half, when City were leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan. The England international burst into the area and his trailing leg was caught by the Villa midfielder after he cleverly shifted in direction.

Riyad Mahrez converted from 12 yards to increase City's lead and all but secure three points, with Ollie Watkins' second-half strike nothing more than a consolation goal for Villa. Grealish's contentious moment proved to be one of the main talking points of a routine victory for the defending champions and Keane gave a typically frank assessment at half-time.
