Keane brace spurs Galaxy

Robbie Keane celebrated his 32nd birthday by scoring both goals in the Los Angeles Galaxy’s 2-0 Major League Soccer win over the Chicago Fire yesterday, lifting his team into the final play-off spot in the Western Conference.

The Galaxy, without midfielder David Beckham through suspension and with forward Landon Donovan starting on the bench due to a hip injury, headed into the sell-out encounter at Toyota Park on the back of two straight losses and were facing a team unbeaten in four games.
