David Beckham to Robbie Keane. Music to Galaxy fans ears. It took only 21 minutes for Robbie Keane to score his first MLS goal as he took a long ball from David Beckham and easily beat Jon Busch for an uncontested finish. Keane would be subbed off in the 72nd minute and his replacement Mike Magee would add an insurance goal as the Galaxy defeated San Jose 2-0. The win, coupled with Dallas's loss extends L.A.'s lead to six points over now second place Seattle atop the Western Conference. With eight games remaining in the regular season and Champions League matches ongoing, it will be interesting to see how Bruce Arena chooses to use Keane in the upcoming weeks. Regardless, the Galaxy couldn't have asked for a better start to the Robbie Keane era.

Interestingly enough, Juan Pablo Angel, the player that was let go to make room for Keane on the roster also scored tonight in his debut for Chivas USA. It was just Angel's 4th goal of the season after scoring 13 last year for the Red Bulls.
