Roy Keane criticised Manchester City striker Erling Haaland for being 'very lackadaisical' in missing a penalty against Bournemouth.
Haaland's spot-kick was saved by Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the first half of the FA Cup quarter-final tie.
It was a frustrating first half for Haaland, who also missed another inviting opportunity.
Keane was left disappointed with City's first half display and the manner in which they were 'strolling around the pitch'.
Speaking on ITV Sport, Keane said: 'Haaland missing a penalty, very lackadaisical, then he missed another chance and he's smiling. Man City strolling around the pitch are really getting on my nerves, not a good sign.'
Bournemouth took the lead in the 21st minute with Evanlison scoring after the hosts took advantage of some slack defending from City, with Matheus Nunes especially struggling.

Ian Wright agreed with Keane that City didn't seem especially sharp in the first half.
Wright said: 'We know Bournemouth are going to force them wide and make them make mistakes. That's exactly what Nunes did. This could have been very comfortable. They don't seem in the vibe. They don't seem up for it.'
Haaland redeemed himself in the early stages of the second half as he equalised for City in the 49th minute.
However, the striker had to be substituted in the 61st minute due to injury.
Haaland's replacement Omar Marmoush proceeded to make it 2-1 to City.
