West Ham boss Grant delighted with Keane goal scoring debut

West Ham United boss Avram Grant was delighted with Robbie Keane's goal scoring debut in victory over Blackpool.

Keane's goalscoring start as a West Ham player, albeit from a mishit shot, offered Grant further hope for the rest of the season.

The much-travelled Keane, the Republic of Ireland's record goalscorer, joined the club on loan from Tottenham at the weekend.

Grant said: "We were looking for a player like him.

"Robbie is very good, a very intelligent player. We are playing football so it is good for him and good for us.

"Gary O'Neil was good, Wayne Bridge - all our signings were good and the other players continue to play well."
