Roy Keane calls West Ham United an "absolute disgrace"

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane branded West Ham United an "absolute disgrace" for their performance against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon.

The Hammers trailed 3-0 to their bitter rivals in the early stages of the second half, before late goals from Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna made it a nervy finish for Jose Mourinho's side.

However, despite showing some fight in the latter stages, Keane has claimed that Manuel Pellegrini's side were "absolute rubbish" in the London derby, insisting that it was "an easy day for Tottenham".

"They were rubbish, absolute rubbish, absolute disgrace. It was an easy day for Tottenham," Keane told Sky Sports News when questioned ahead of Manchester City's clash with Chelsea.

West Ham have now lost each of their last three Premier League matches, while they have not been victorious in the top flight since a 2-0 success over Manchester United on September 22.

Next up for the London club, who sit 16th in the table, is a trip to Chelsea next weekend, before starting the month of December with clashes against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal.
