Ireland legend Roy Keane jokingly suggested that Taylor Harwood-Bellis’s debut goal for England might jeopardize the Southampton defender’s plans to marry his daughter.

Harwood-Bellis, engaged to Keane’s daughter Leah, scored England’s fifth goal in their dominant 5-0 victory over Ireland in the Nations League.

The 22-year-old headed home Jude Bellingham’s cross just 17 minutes into his first international appearance at Wembley on Sunday, per the BBC.

Keane’s humorous comments brought some light-heartedness to an otherwise lopsided match.

Harwood-Bellis, a Manchester City academy graduate, celebrated his milestone goal as Keane observed from the stands in his role as a TV pundit.

“Things can change very quickly in the Keane household, let me tell you.”

The notoriously volatile Keane, who earned 67 Ireland caps, eventually played nice with his daughter’s husband-to-be, praising his development into a Premier League and international player.

“Over the last few months he has got a goal threat, even playing for Southampton,” he said.

“It’s good for him, it’s good for him to make his debut. His family have done a great job, he is a really nice kid.”
