Roy Keane pointed the finger at Alexis Mac Allister for Alexander Isak’s opening goal for Newcastle against Liverpool.
Mac Allister started in midfield for the Reds at St James’ Park, alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones. But just 20 minutes in, the Argentine picked up a yellow card for a late challenge on Fabian Schar.
booking, Isak opened the scoring for Newcastle. The goal came when Magpies skipper Bruno Guimaraes got past Mac Allister before playing in the Swedish international.
Isak held off Virgil van Dijk before firing an unstoppable effort into the top right corner of the net. But Keane insisted that Mac Allister was at fault, blaming the midfielder for rushing out of position to close down Guimaraes.
He told The Overlap’s Watchalong: “Look at Mac Allister. Look at Mac Allister. Look at Mac Allister. Look at Mac Allister. Look at Mac Allister here. He can’t. Great strike. What power. If you’re on a yellow card and can’t run don’t go in there.”
