Keane holds no fears for Sagna

FRANCE defender Bacary Sagna has pointed to his proud record against Robbie Keane at club level as a reason for his side’s confidence going into tomorrow’s World Cup play-off at Croke Park.

The Arsenal full-back, who is now first-choice right-back in the France team, has faced Tottenham striker Keane four times in Premier League matches in the last two and a half seasons and is yet to finish on the losing side.

Keane has never scored against a team with Sagna in it and the last time they met, at the Emirates last month, Sagna kept Keane quiet in Arsenal’s 3-0 win.
