Roy Keane slams ‘LAZY' Kyle Walker for role in Senegal goal vs England as ITV star says ‘can't make mistakes like that'
KYLE WALKER was slammed as "lazy" by Roy Keane for his role in Senegal's equaliser against England.
The defender was caught on his heels as Ismaila Sarr reacted quickest to poke in Nicolas Jackson's cross.

Walker was beaten to the ball after reacting slowly, leaving pundit Keane unimpressed.
The Manchester United legend tore into the right-back during half-time of ITV 's coverage of the match.
He said: "If this is a young right-back starting out in the game you're thinking inexperience.
"I think he has been lazy. He is a vastly experienced defender and he doesn't bother getting back in. You tell defenders get back in!
"He's just on his heels and he almost can't be bothered getting back.
"I know he's had a difficult few months but for a vastly experienced player you can't be making mistakes like that.
Ian Wright supported his colleague's view, adding: "If Kyle gets in there, he probably clears that."
It was the first goal England conceded under Thomas Tuchel, who faced his first real test in Senegal at the City Ground.
The Three Lions opened the lead through Harry Kane before Sarr's equaliser.
Their defending did not improve after the break however with a long ball over the top exposing Myles Lewis-Skelly and Levi Colwill.
Habib Diarra strolled in down the right flank and was not closed down quickly enough, allowing him to stride into the box to score at the near post.
Things went from bad to worse for England as a Jude Bellingham goal was ruled out before Cheikh Sabaly added a third.

Belgian club Leuven dismiss former Wales manager Coleman
June 12 (Reuters) - Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has been fired by OH Leuven six months after joining them, the Belgian club said. The former Wales defender was appointed in December by Leuven, whose owners also control Leicester City, and he led them to an 11th-place finish, enough to qualify for playoffs for a potential spot in European club competition next season. "In those playoffs, the performances remained below expectations. That is why the club is now opting for change with a view to next season and is ending the collaboration with Coleman," Leuven said in a statement. Coleman, 55, took Wales to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016. He also managed English clubs Fulham, Sunderland and Coventry City, and Spain's Real Sociedad.

Reid 30 years on: 'I had to find £700 from somewhere'
Former Sunderland manager Peter Reid - who twice won the Black Cats promotion into the Premier League - has been looking back on taking charge of the club 30 years ex-Everton and Manchester City player took the reigns in March 1995 with Sunderland battling relegation in the second tier, but with seven games of the season remaining, Reid oversaw just the one loss and managed to keep them to BBC Radio Newcastle in a special episode, Reid recalled: "They were great games, the Sheffield United one was a very important one and I always thank Craig [Russell] for coming on as a sub and getting the winner," Reid said."To be fair, the crowd played their part and obviously the players, the players were magnificent. I think we went to Derby and beat them as well which was a fantastic result."After the Sheffield United game, I remember going to the chairman and saying 'listen I need to get something for the players so give me £500 to take them out' and the bill came to about £1200 so I had to find £700 from somewhere."So I was fining the lads for mis-passing the ball in training and everything and once I got the £700 I told them 'it's over now lads' and I told them the story and they took it all in the spirit that it was meant."
