Roy Keane was less than impressed with Aberdeen new boy Topi Keskinen’s decision making at Wembley.

The Finland winger was in from the start against England in the Nations League clash with the Scandinavians. After winning his first cap in his country’s 3-0 defeat to Greece at the weekend, the Pittodrie wide man has another chance at the “home of football” as Lee Carsley takes charge of just his second game in the Three Lions hotseat.

It was goalless at the break, but Keskinen’s call to shoot in the first half rather than square to former Celtic front man Teemu Pukki for a tap in drew criticism from Keane. The Man Utd legend and ITV pundit accused the former HJK Helsinki star of “pure greed” and suggested the Pukki would be “absolutely fuming” with his young teammate after passing up a golden opportunity to lay it on a plate and open the scoring. He could also have squared it for Pukki in another chance.

And it’s come back to haunt the Finns. A few minutes before the hour mark, Harry Kane smashed home the opener, marking his 100th England cap with another international goal to put the hosts ahead
