Robbie Keane was on target as Tottenham concluded their pre-season tour of the United States with a 2-2 draw against Sporting Lisbon.[LNB] Keane opened the scoring for his team in the Red Bull Arena on 23 minutes after latching onto a throughball from Niko Kranjcar to slot into the bottom corner.[LNB]Spurs had wobbles at the back, however, and Sporting were on level terms two minutes later when Chile international Matias Fernandez headed home.[LNB]Harry Redknapp's team fell behind three minutes after the restart as Jamie Valdes struck to beat keeper David Button, who had replaced Carlo Cudicini at half-time.[LNB]But Keane came to his team's saviour by setting up Jonathan Obika for the leveller, his pass allowing the substitute to squeeze a shot past Rui Patricio in the Lisbon goal.[LNB]Republic of Ireland striker Keane, 30, has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane over the summer but his performance will have given Redknapp plenty to ponder.
