Berkovic hits out at Keegan
Portsmouth midfielder Eyal Berkovic
Eyal Berkovic has launched a stinging attack on Man City boss Kevin Keegan after he helped his new team Portsmouth beat his old side 4-2.

The Israeli left City after falling out of favour, and he believes City should sack Keegan after the club's poor run.

"I don't see any reason why Kevin didn't play me because I was the best player in training for six months and everyone knew that," said Berkovic.

"Kevin was behaving like a big baby. I think he deserves the sack."

Football is a game of opinions and Kevin did what he thought was right with Eyal
Harry Redknapp

Berkovic played a prominent part as his side rammed in four goals thanks to Dejan Stefanovic, Teddy Sheringham and a brace from Yakubu.

Boss Harry Redknapp was relieved to see his side climb out of the Premiership's drop zone, but was unhappy Berkovic had made his comments about Keegan.

"I'm disappointed Eyal said what he did, but I know what he's like," said Redknapp.

"He doesn't need to get involved with Kevin or anyone else.

"Football is a game of opinions and Kevin did what he thought was right with Eyal."
