Perfect end to dream week for two-goal Keane

FT Tottenham 3 Blackburn 2

Robbie Keane celebrated the end of a perfect week by firing a two-goal salvo as Tottenham edged Blackburn in a pulsating clash at White Hart Lane.

Keane was named Republic of Ireland skipper in midweek and then signed a new four-year contract with Spurs on Friday and he marked the good news by helping his side to victory.

Goals from Florent Sinama Pongolle and Craig Bellamy saw Blackburn draw level but Egypt striker Mido struck in the 70th minute to snatch all three points.

Jenas went close with a free-kick which took a deflection of the wall and then found the side netting as Spurs enjoyed a purple patch.

But Blackburn’s determination to notch the equaliser meant they could never relax and Spurs fans were forced to endure a nail-biting finish before the final whistle sounded.
