Robbie hopes hat-trick can lift Spurs

Robbie Keane is hoping his first Premiership hat-trick can help Tottenham put their recent poor run behind them.

After successive Premiership defeats at Newcastle and Southampton, plus a 4-0 FA Cup drubbing against the latter, the Republic of Ireland striker gave Glenn Hoddle’s side a lift today with his three goals in the 4-3 defeat of Everton.
