The king is back.

That's the MLS saying that, not us. What we'll say is: the king is back. Robbie Keane took 13 minutes to announce his return to a football pitch and do what he does best, hit nothing but net. The Irish skipper has been sidelined since March but he made a goal-scoring comeback on Sunday night as LA Galaxy saw off New England 4-2 with a brace from their favourite Dublin son. The first was a leftie. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/729405390740332545 They seemed happy enough. https://twitter.com/LAGalaxy/status/729403663056179200 His second looked even easier. But, listen, being in the right place at the right time - all of the bloody time - is not a coincidence. https://twitter.com/futbolMLS/status/729415166215913472 Then Steven Gerrard. Steven f**king Gerrard! As Steven Gerrard goals go, this was the most un-Steven Gerrard goal of them all. This was right out of the Lionel Messi school of trickery and improvisation. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/729430818339201025 The dink, the meg, the left-footed finish. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/729448999023972352 Giovani dos Santos scored a screamer in there somewhere too. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/729408368738209792 But let's talk about Robbie Keane. Let's talk Euro 2016. The king is back. https://twitter.com/LAGalaxy/status/729450322939158528
