Keane: Leeds so weak - like a pub team

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has compared Leeds United's defending to a pub team.

The Whites were battered 4-1 by an out of form Tottenham at home on the final day of the Premier League season.

Interim boss Sam Alladryce saw his team humiliated and relegated to the Championship.

Post-game, Keane told Sky Sports: "They looked weak over the last month or two. Sam's come in, he's mentioned they're fighting for their lives and they concede four goals at home - nowhere near good enough, despite whatever Sam was trying to do.

"He obviously came in too late but defensively they looked so weak. Some of the goals we were looking at there, it's almost pub team defending.

“Not strong enough mentally and desire nowhere near good enough."
