On Sky Sports, ex-footballer and pundit Jamie Redknapp said: It's not a lot.
Yates is like that, he tries to get into players' faces, a bit like Gascoigne and Vinnie Jones many years ago."
And Keane replied: I worked with Yates at Forest, really nice kid, but every week somebody touches him he goes down.
He goes down far too easily. For such a decent lad he needs to cut that out of his game."
