ENGLAND fans have ripped into Michael Keane after his howler against Kosovo ruined their bets after just 34 SECONDS.
The Everton defender, 26, carelessly passed the ball into the feet of Valon Berisha - who gave the underdogs an unexpected lead at St Mary's.

Before the 5-3 win for the Three Lions, fans fairly predicted Gareth Southgate's side would cruise past Kosovo in the Group A clash for Euro 2020 qualification.
It led to some supporters thinking it would be a good idea to place a bet on England to score first - but that quickly backfired.
After Keane's monumental mistake, one fan wrote on Twitter: "The one time I put a bet on for ages and f****** Michael Keane does that."
While another said: "I had England and not both teams to score on my bet. It didn't even last a minute. Cheers Michael Keane."
A third supporter added: "That's my first goalscorer bet gone out the window. Well done Keane."
Southgate claimed this week that it would be "interesting" to watch Keane this season - but his instant gaffe wasn't quite what he would have had in mind.
