Roy Keane has slammed Leeds United for a lack of discipline following their 5-1 defeat against Crystal Palace at Elland Road.
The Whites went ahead from Patrick Bamford's 21st minute header, but were level at half-time courtesy of Marc Guehi's equaliser.
Palace then punished Leeds for a woeful second half performance with a brace from Jordan Ayew, and goals from Eberechi Eze and Odsonne Eduoard condemning them to an embarrassing defeat.

Javi Gracia's men missed the chance to move five points clear of danger, and remain 16th place in the Premier League table with eight games remaining.
Former Manchester United captain Keane described Leeds' performance as 'shocking', and warned that goal difference could prove decisive in the fight for survival.
"Leeds have got to be careful, a team could go down this year with goal difference it’s that tight so to give up so many goals and chances at end was really poor from Leeds. Poor discipline," Keane told Sky Sports.
"Absolutely not [didn't see Palace win coming], no, Leeds were shocking. Very, very poor, too open, but Palace were outstanding.
"This is the best player on the park by far, Olise, three assists. Really poor defending, Palace at half-time just changed the game and the energy around the stadium, far too much space and time."
