The 22-year-old headed home Jude Bellingham’s cross just 17 minutes into his first international appearance at Wembley on Sunday, per the BBC.
Keane’s humorous comments brought some light-heartedness to an otherwise lopsided match.
Harwood-Bellis, a Manchester City academy graduate, celebrated his milestone goal as Keane observed from the stands in his role as a TV pundit.
The former Manchester United midfielder, with his trademark wit, jokingly hinted that the upcoming wedding might now be in doubt.
“It’s bittersweet for me this. It is not done and dusted yet,” Keane said via Goal.
“Things can change very quickly in the Keane household, let me tell you.”
The notoriously volatile Keane, who earned 67 Ireland caps, eventually played nice with his daughter’s husband-to-be, praising his development into a Premier League and international player.
“Over the last few months he has got a goal threat, even playing for Southampton,” he said.
“It’s good for him, it’s good for him to make his debut. His family have done a great job, he is a really nice kid.”
Roy Keane blasts Christian Eriksen
Meanwhile, Roy Keane delivered a stinging critique of Christian Eriksen, sparing no words in his latest comments about the Danish midfielder.
Keane, renowned for his blunt and forthright style as a pundit, didn't hold back during his appearance on the Overlap's 'Stick to Football' show, where he labelled Eriksen a "fool" for his recent remarks.
Why did Keane call Eriksen a 'fool'?
The crux of Keane’s frustration lies in Eriksen’s public acknowledgement of a lack of desire from Man United, a sentiment that fans and pundits alike found hard to swallow.
Eriksen’s honest post-match reflection, though intended to offer insight into the team's shortcomings, only fuelled criticism.
