Keane back with big bang for Galaxy

Giovanni Trapattoni has been handed some good news in the familiar form of a goalscoring return to action by his skipper Robbie Keane.

LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and Keane’s team-mate Landon Donovan were full of praise for the striker after he scored one goal and made another in a 4-1 win away to Philadelphia Union in what was the player’s comeback appearance for his club after missing three games with an ankle injury.

“Robbie is a great player, what else can you say?” said Arena. “He makes us look really good. I was surprised he got through the 90 minutes. I thought we were going to have to take him out around 75 minutes, but we had to keep him on the field and he did a good job towards the end.”
