The game was there for the taking, says frustrated Long

A TALE of two strikers.

Robbie Keane began last night’s Group B fixture in Zilina with 89 more caps and 40 goals to his credit than Shane Long, a man seven-and-a-half years his junior. One shone, one didn’t.

It was Long who finished the evening with the man-of-the-match award but the Tottenham Hotspur striker had three glorious opportunities to write his name up in lights and secure three vital points for the visitors.
