Glory back Andy Keogh to end goal drought

Perth Glory striker Bruno Fornaroli predicts the goals will soon flow for Andy Keogh as the former Ireland international battles through another drought.

Keogh has remarkably scored in just one of his past 32 A-League Men games, when he notched four goals in a 5-1 drubbing of Western Sydney in May last year.

That goal blitz broke a 20-game scoring drought for Keogh in the ALM.

Keogh's current ALM scoring drought stands at 11 games, seven of which have come this season.

The 35-year-old had previously been a goalscoring machine for Glory, but he now plays a more selfless role where he sets up opportunities for teammates rather than taking lots of shots himself.

Nevertheless, his near-barren run over a 32-game stretch for Glory must be a worry and he'll be aiming to turn it around in Sunday's clash with Western United in Tasmania.

"Maybe the people think Andy doesn't score, but he does many things to help the team," Fornaroli said.

"Especially Wednesday night for example (in the 1-0 loss to Macarthur), he was everywhere trying to help the team.

"He sacrifices for the team because he maybe plays in another position, another role.

"I don't have to say anything to him because he knows the goals will come and there will be a point where he scores again, so it's no problem. He's a great player."

Daniel Sturridge's groin injury means Glory are in desperate need for both Keogh and Fornaroli to fire in attack.

Fornaroli has scored five goals in nine matches this season, but he missed some golden opportunities in the 1-0 loss to Macarthur.

Western United have soared to top spot under coach John Aloisi this season with their 1-0 win over Sydney FC on Wednesday marking the seventh time this campaign they have won by that scoreline.
