'Too honest' - Roy Keane makes Liverpool penalty claim after VAR denied Nottingham Forest

Roy Keane believes referee Craig Pawson made the correct decision in not giving Nottingham Forest a penalty in Liverpool's 1-0 win at the City Ground in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Reds opened the scoring deep into the second half through Diogo Jota, but Forest striker Ryan Yates was certain he should have been awarded a penalty after going down when falling over Alisson's outstretched arm. VAR reviewed the challenge and play continued.

Former Manchester United captain Keane was in the ITV studio when Liverpool progressed to the FA Cup semi-finals and he highlighted how Forest striker Yates wasn't 'smart enough' to win a penalty for his side against Jurgen Klopp's men.
