BRUCE ARENA HAILED Robbie Keane last night for the “spectacular finish” which helped to get the LA Galaxy back to winning ways.
Keane’s sixth goal of the season set on the Galaxy on the road to a 2-1 win against FC Dallas — their first in the league since 12 April.
He opened the scoring in the 24th minute, cutting back inside two defenders before firing a left-footed beauty into the top corner.
It ended a rough patch which saw the Galaxy take just two points from their last four games.
Keane — who will miss Ireland’s friendlies against Turkey and Italy before linking up with the squad in the States — said: “It has been a long few weeks away from home so it was certainly nice to be in your back garden.
“I think the way we played was very good. The pitch was playing very very well with the wetness, and you could see from the way we moved the ball really quickly
He added: “I don’t think we’ve been doing bad you know. It’s just been unlucky and sloppy at times and conceded goals. But we certainly haven’t been bad.”
