Lallana, 36, was not sent off for the challenge by referee Sam Barrott nor did VAR intervene with the onfield decision.

He was only shown a yellow card as a result of the tackle.

The decision to leave the former Liverpool star on the pitch left Keane fuming in the Sky Sports studio.

He said: “I think so, he is not in control, he is not even looking at the ball.

“I would have been sent off here. I would have been 100 per cent. I would have had no complaints.

“They have looked at the player there and thought he is not really a nasty type, none of the Liverpool players are after him.

“He is an ex-team-mate. I think he has got away with one. I think it is a red.”

Keane recieved 13 red cards during his career which is the joint record in English football.

The decision did not majorly impact the match as Liverpool still finished as winners on the South Coast.

Dominik Szoboszlai made the home team pay with some careless defensive play, and Liverpool seized the lead.

Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes then gave Southampton the lead, setting them up for an unexpected victory.

Mohamed Salah scored a brace to give Liverpool back the lead, but it was unable to halt Arne Slot’s team.

Liverpool now leads Manchester City by eight points in the Premier League standings after the 3-2 victory.

Arsenal supporters demanded that Southampton sign Tyler Dibling because he was such a bright spot for the team.
