A frustrated Haaland cracked a wry smile after his second straight miss, which well and truly irked Keane.

The ITV pundit said: “Haaland missing a penalty, very lackadaisical.

“Then, he missed another chance and he’s smiling.

“Man City strolling around the pitch are really getting on my nerves, not a good sign.”

Keane’s sentiment on City was echoed by fellow pundit Ian Wright, who said: “We know Bournemouth are going to force them wide and make them make mistakes.

“That’s exactly what Nunes did. This could have been very comfortable.

“They don’t seem in the vibe. They don’t seem up for it.”

Haaland would eventually get his name on the scoresheet in the 49th minute to level the tie.
