ROY KEANE surprised Laura Woods on live TV after Man City’s FA Cup win over Bristol City.
That’s by hailing Kevin De Bruyne’s strike in the 3-0 victory as “sexy.”
Pep Guardiola’s side made light work of their Championship opponents yesterday, with De Bruyne’s late rocket adding to two strikes from Phil Foden.
The match was the Belgian’s first since the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.
He missed the Champions League stalemate with RB Leipzig due to illness.
And De Bruyne was an unused sub as City smashed Bournemouth 4-1 in the league last weekend.

But the Belgian was back to his silky best against Rovers, with his goal capping off an excellent performance.
And Keane could not help himself from getting carried away while describing the Belgian’s impact on the game.
When Woods asked Keane for his take on De Bruyne’s goal, the Irishman responded: “I love watch him, love watching him live again.
“I think it’s the little details. He does right in terms of his decision making, weight of pass.

“He’s obviously got a goal in him. He is world class, world class, and some of the stuff we’ve seen tonight…
“Again this goal, even Jack does really well here, just the weight of pass is perfect. And this is just pure quality.
“I said it when we’re watching, it’s sexy football, just the weight of pass from Jack. There was no doubt in my mind when he got in that position he was going to score.
“It was like a tap-in to him. Pure quality, love watching him.”
And after Wright also praised De Bruyne, Woods joked: “What I enjoy as well is that De Bruyne will go home, he’ll turn on the telly, watch the highlights and wonder how Roy Keane described it.
“And I don’t think he would have expected you to say sexy, but here we are.”
