Robbie Keane’s second spell at White Hart Lane promises to be as interesting as his first. With the club still involved in the battle at the wrong end of the table, a point against North London rivals Arsenal was a good result. But Keane is not underestimating the job to be done to ensure the clubs Premiership status.

 

Whilst settling back into the fold quite easily, the task at hand has remained a priority for the Eire captain. "I think everyone is surprised to see us where we are in the table“ he said, "it's important that we start playing together as a team from now on and work to get us out of this relegation battle because nobody wants to see us down there, especially not me“.

Following the draw against the Gunners, boss Harry Redknapp looked ahead with greater confidence. He believed that his team were much the better side in terms of creating chances over the ninety minutes and could possibly have snatched all three points but for the enforced tactical changes made by Arsense Wenger following Emmanuel Eboue’s dismissal.
