JOE doesn’t often buy into sporting fairytale’s but we all know that Los Angeles is where boyhood dreams can come true and they certainly did for Robbie Keane last night.

Galaxy’s opener arrived midway through the second-half thanks to Gyasi Zardes before Jay Tierney levelled the match on 79 minutes.
Keane couldn’t have written a more perfect script, aside from his refusal to square the ball to Landon Donovan for a tap-in on his final game, but the striker did grab the headlines with this dramatic winner.
