Roy Keane jokes about calling off daughter’s engagement after Harwood-Bellis' goal against Ireland
Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who netted his first international goal for England in their Nations League clash against Ireland, may have risked falling out of favor with his future father-in-law, Roy Keane, reports Daily Mail.
The English team dominated with a 5-0 victory, with Harwood-Bellis among the scorers in what was his debut match for the national squad. Watching the match as a pundit was none other than Roy Keane, who, in addition to being an Irishman, is also the father of Taylor’s fiancée, Leah.
Could this goal have strained relations between the soon-to-be relatives? Keane brushed off the notion with a joke, saying that the engagement wasn’t set in stone and that events in the Keane household could change very quickly.
On the field, however, the young defender had every reason to celebrate. His goal not only contributed to England's decisive win but also helped them secure a return to League A, after their shocking relegation in the previous edition.
Harwood-Bellis is a product of Manchester City’s academy. After struggling to cement a place in City's first team, the English defender signed a contract with Southampton ahead of the 2024/25 season, following a successful loan spell with the club.
