Later in the half, Memphis found Keane lurking at the back post and he tapped into an empty net to double his tally.
Early in the second half, Keane completed his hat-trick when receiving another pass from Memphis before lofting home before Pereira made it 4-0 when slotting home from the penalty spot soon after.
Keane was still hungry for more goals and he produced a classic chip for a breathtaking goal to make it 5-0.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah added a sixth with 20 minutes to go, and Keane then rounded off the rout just a few moments later.
Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young are all now out injured, meaning youngsters including Cameron Borthwick-Jackson have had to step up to the starting XI.
