John Stones ‘Like a Child’ in Gladbach vs. Manchester City, Says Roy Keane
- Updated: November 24, 2016
Manchester United icon Roy Keane slated Manchester City star John Stones for his display in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach and said the Englishman was knocked off the ball “like a child” for the opposition’s goal.
Keane appeared as a pundit on ITV’s UEFA Champions League Highlights and laid into England international Stones for the part he played in Raffael’s 23rd-minute opener in Germany:

Tom Bassam of MailOnline provided a transcript of the Irishman’s comments, while fellow ITV pundit Lee Dixon added that Lars Stindl’s pull on Stones “wasn’t enough to send him to the ground.”
Keane said (h/t Bassam):
