Tottenham Hotspur’s Robbie Keane (pictured right) and former Manchester City defender Richard Dunne both entered the FTBL Top 23 of the English Premier League after helping Ireland extract a 2:1 victory in a World Cup 2010 qualifier in Cyprus.

Keane netted the winner in the 83rd minute, earning 27 rating points in our system to take his overall FTBL rating to 159.34 points to consolidate his position at the top of our ranking of Irish strikers. The first for Ireland came from Wolverhampton's Kevin Doyle (pictured left). He was rewarded with 5.08 rating points in our system and now has an overall FTBL rating of 56.10 points. Doyle is second only to Keane in the FTBL ranking of Irish strikers.

Dunne earned 14.10 rating points in our system thanks to the addition to his take in the game of the single rating point he dropped in Manchester City’s 1:2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in English Premier League action. He now has an FTBL rating of 99.94 points.
