LA GALAXY WERE 4-0 winners over Toronto FC in the MLS last night with Robbie Keane bagging a hat-trick.

Ireland’s all-time top goalscorer fired a penalty into the top corner on 9 minutes before adding a second four minutes before half-time. On the hour-mark, the 34-year-old notched his six goal of the season after capitalising on a loose back-pass.

Sebastian Lletget wrapped up the result with a fourth just before the full-time whistle.
