I must say, Keane has a powerful left foot. He scored both goals with his left leg (in fact Arbeloa too... it was a night of THE LEFT FOOT). Thank God...
How do we summarise this game? One thing for sure, I will not have a parade simply because we beat WBA... a lousy team in the Premier League. The Ecstasy of winning the game is not on par when we beat Man. U and Chelsea.
I would prefer to focus a bit on Keane. I would like to compare him with our former striker, Mr Peter Crouch.

Crouch took 18 games before he broke the duck. He also scored a brace in that game against Wigan. What made it a bit sweeter is the fact that Wigan was riding high at that time. They were unbeaten and it took Crouch's shots to bring Wigan back to the reality. the new arrival had to wait four months and 19 games for his first goal. Even then, his duck-breaker against Wigan on December 3 had to go to the dubious goals panel after taking two deflections. We know after those goals, Crouch couldn't stop scoring and it was a joy to watch as he not only excel for the club but also for England. (Lets not talk about Torres here...)
As for Keane, he had to wait for the 12th game to do so. But how do you count his 2 goals in the Champion Leagues? Those goals were vital too for the advancement of LFC, in particular goal difference tally as Atletico can't accept that they were denied a win in Anfield by our superb Gerrard.
So who had the best goal opener, Crouch or Keane? You guys - go discuss it here.
Terms & Regulations :
1. We're not including Torres... he's on different planet! (and we discuss him on another forum)
2. The argument and evidence must be confined to the game mentioned (Crouch : Wigan and Keane : WBA).
3. Winner will get a BROAD SMILE from all of us. hahaha...

Crouch has his own quality and I remember his contribution very well. In the trilogy against Arsenal last season, he managed to score on his own and we left Emirates with a point - when everybody thought that we will get nailed.
As for Keane, he needs to produce the goal consistently and not only against a lesser team like WBA. Only at the end of this season we can and should evaluate his contribution. But your question is who has the best opening goal? I say Crouch. As you said, Wigan was undefeated then before Crouch scored (regardless how funny it was - it has to be viewed by a dubious commitee to decide if it was all his or a deflected goals).
Lol... Despite he's not-so-though-but-yet-too-lanky look, I'm always a fan of Crouchie... He's too slow at time, but you can't deny the fact that he have 'MAD' ball control... (remember his goal for England where he chested the long ball from Becks and volley it?)Still, Crouchie's goal was worth waiting for as he scored some 'extra terrestrial' goals for a guy of his size!!! (too bad Rafa never quite fully utilize Crouchie's potential) Anyway, Robbie's opening are much more 'convincing' but nevertheless, let us wait before we can truly assess Robbie...
