WATCH: At 35, Robbie Keane’s feet are still too quick for defenders as he sets up LA Galaxy winner

Timeless

Martin O’Neill will be hoping that his players aren’t peaking too soon, with four months to go until Ireland’s Euro 2016 group opener.

This weekend we’ve seen Shane Long, Robbie Brady and Wes Hoolahan all score for their clubs but, across the Atlantic Ocean, a certain veteran is still tormenting American defenders.

Keane played a starring role in LA Galaxy’s 1-0 friendly victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.

The Republic of Ireland captain made sure to prove that he’s far from finished as he brilliantly set up the game’s only goal.

On the left hand side of the Earthquakes’ box, Keane used some dazzling footwork to get round the full-back and dink the perfect ball onto the head of teammate Gyasi Zardes who duly found the net.
