Morgan sparks Red Bulls to 4
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Lewis Morgan had an early goal and picked up an assist late to lead the New York Red Bulls to a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday night.
The Red Bulls (5-2-5) grabbed the lead in the 6th minute when Morgan took a pass from Sean Nealis and drilled a right-footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom right corner of the net. It was Morgan’s eighth goal this season.
The Revolution (2-8-1) pulled even in the 24th minute after Carles Gil used an assist from Tomás Chancalay to score his fourth goal of the campaign.
New York took a 2-1 lead into halftime on a penalty-kick goal by Emil Forsberg in the 43rd minute. Forsberg notched his fourth netter of the season with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner following a hand-ball foul on New England defender Henry Kessler.
The Red Bulls added an insurance goal in the 84th minute when Elias Manoel used assists from Wiki Carmona and Noah Eile to score for a second time this season. It was the first career assist Eile, a 21-year-old rookie defender.
