Soccer: Robbie Keane lives up to price-tag

Coventry City's Robbie Keane scored again in his second match for his new club in their Premiership clash with Sunderland which ended in a 1-1 draw. Coventry took the lead after 33 minutes when Keane latched onto pass from midfielder Youssef Chippo and rounded the Sunderland keeper, Thomas Sorensen. Coventry played deeper in the second half and paid the price when Sunderland drew level on 72 minutes with a volley from their in-form striker Kevin Phillips. Following the equaliser, Chippo was sent off for his second bookable offence, and Keane wasted an opportunity to take all three points when he volleyed over the bar in stoppage time.
