Roy Keane did not hold back following Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Everton on Monday night, Januray 26, 2026. Despite James Justin giving the Whites an early lead at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, a late equalizer from Thierno Barry forced a share of the points—and ignited Keane’s trademark fury.
The Sky Sports pundit singled out Brenden Aaronson for what he described as a “lightweight and amateurish” second-half display. While Leeds dominated the first 45 minutes, Keane was incensed by the team’s inability to kill the game off, specifically criticizing the lack of physicality when Everton turned up the pressure.
”You’re 1-0 up in a dogfight and you’ve got players strolling around like it’s a testimonial,” Keane fumed. “Aaronson is getting bullied off the ball far too easily. It’s no good having technical ability if you haven’t got the stomach for the fight. It was a soft performance.”
Supporters on social media were in total agreement, with many echoing Keane’s sentiment that Leeds “bottled it” after the interval. The result leaves Daniel Farke’s side still hovering dangerously close to the relegation conversation, with fans increasingly frustrated by the club’s inability to maintain intensity for 90 minutes.
