Walker and Hojlund go head to head

Roy Keane branded Kyle Walker an embarrassment for going down easily when he clashed with Rasmus Hojlund during the Manchester derby.

The two went head to head late in the first half after the Manchester City skipper had barged Hojlund over and conceded a free kick. The United striker was less than impressed and confronted Walker and the pair went head to head.

Walker then went down but there was no forward movement from the Dane. A scuffle between the two sets of players ensued with referee Anthony Taylor ultimately booking Walker and Hojlund.

Speaking about the incident at half time, Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane slammed the England international for going down easily.

"I would have given a red card to Walker. Of course it is a foul and it is free kick and Hojlund is not happy and that is fine," said Keane. "Walker must be embarrassed to go down like that. An experienced player, look at this. I don't know the guy and I am embarrassed for him."

Speaking on commentary, Gary Neville added: "It's poor from Kyle Walker. He goes down when he realises there might have been contact. I think he will be a little bit embarrassed when he sees that back."
