Keegan insisted Michael Owen is "still a world-class player" as England coach Fabio Capello watched the Newcastle striker grab a vital equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Birmingham.
But they still didn't get THAT first win!
Keegan also had problems with his choice of substitutions... Keegan insisted there would be no fall-out with Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins over his reaction to being substituted during the Premier League clash at Birmingham.
Martins impressed in what his first start under Keegan after returning from the African Nations Cup with an ankle injury and set up the equaliser for Michael Owen in a 1-1 draw at St Andrews.
But he showed his displeasure when taken off with 10 minutes to go and appeared to ignore Keegan's offer of a handshake before sitting at the back of the dug-out.
Keegan felt the need to console Martins and admitted the player had every reason to be unhappy as he stressed the move was purely tactical and no reflection on Martins' performance.
