Shortly after Josko Gvardiol put the hosts ahead, Walker went down after clashing with Rasmus Hojlund.

And Keane, speaking on Sky Sports, made it clear he was furious with the City stalwart - insisting his behaviour was 'embarrassing'.

"Walker must be embarrassed," he said. "To go down like that...
"Look at this. I don't know the guy and I am embarrassed for him."
Keane was also asked if either player should have been sent off - and he quipped that Walker should have been dismissed for his theatrics.
"I would have given a red card to Walker [for the altercation with Hojlund]," he said.
Gvardiol's goal came from a set-piece, with the City star able to power home a header despite Hojlund marking him.
Keane condemned United for their defending, insisting they need to cut out the errors in order to evolve as a team.
"The City goal is far too easy," he fumed.
"The bottom line is that when the ball comes into your box it is a case of 'who wants to head that ball'. Far too many times this season United defenders haven't been brave enough."

There was drama before the match, with United dropping both Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
Both players had been expected to be involved in the showdown against their fierce rivals.
But Ruben Amorim decided to leave the pair out, despite insisting he was happy with their performance levels in training.
Keane was asked about Rashford prior to kick off.

And the United icon suggested it was time for the 27-year-old to leave his boyhood club, despite his big reputation.
"It is a big call," he said. "He [Amorim] has obviously seen something he doesn't like.
"But for those who have watched Manchester United recently, it's not a big surprise because both players have been poor. He has said 'enough is enough'."
"It's a big call, but I like to see it - he has put down a marker."

The Irishman added: “A move for Marcus [Rashford] would suit the player – a new challenge for him.
"He’s been there a long time. When you’re at a big club and your attitude is not right – and it hasn’t been great recently – sometimes it’s good to part ways.”
