Roy Keane was back in the Sky Sports studio for the first time since his now-infamous altercation with Ipswich fans last Sunday, and Jamie Carragher took full advantage of his presence, hitting the Irish man with a savage one-liner.
The pair were appearing alongside Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge for Sky Sports' coverage of Liverpool's emphatic 2-0 win over Manchester City in Anfield today.
On the day, it was Mo Salah who was the hero after he delivered a sensational cross to set up Cody Gakpo's opening half goal, and also secured Liverpool's win with his well-placed second-half penalty, which ridded any concerns over his miss from the spot during Wednesday night's game against Real Madrid.

Salah's performance came as a timely reminder of his abilities after he'd received criticism from Jamie Carragher earlier this week, who accused the Liverpool talisman of being 'selfish' and seeking out reporters over his contract situation.
Speaking after he received today's man-of-the-match award which had been awarded to him by Gary Neville, Salah joked that Jamie Carragher wouldn't have given him the award after his comments.

Roy Keane speechless after Carragher jab
While Carragher came in for his fair share of slagging for the comments he made during the week, it was Roy Keane who was left speechless when Carragher responded to Salah's comments with a brilliant one-liner.
I'll see him (Salah) in the car park.
Micah Richards wasted no time quipping that he'd by 'stood next to Roy', with the whole encounter reducing the studio into hysterics, and leaving Roy Keane unable to conjure any sort of response or in fact any words at all.

Carragher and Richards were of course poking fun at Keane for his altercation with Ipswich fans during last week's Super Sunday coverage.
Having gone pitch side for their post-match analysis, Keane came in for abuse from the Ipswich fans who took aim at their former manager with comments about his time at the club, Saipan and his punditry.
Comments, Keane took umbrage to when he left the Sky Sports table to confront the fans and ended up in a heated argument with a number of the Tractor Boys supporters, one of whom Keane invited to the car park afterwards.
Carragher's jab at Keane wasn't the only stick he came in for either, with Micah Richards striking a 'low blow' later in the show when Keane was explaining that managers up and down the country deal with chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' every week, to which Richards responded 'what was it like'.
"Managers listen to that every week" 😅
