A week shaken by the abrupt firing of D.C. United’s coach and questions about the direction of the MLS organization took a hopeful and arresting turn Saturday at Audi Field.
Chad Ashton, a second-time interim boss, rallied his teetering squad and Greek attacker Taxi Fountas, a first-time starter, made a spectacular impression as United rallied for a 3-2 victory over the New England Revolution.
Three days after Hernán Losada was ousted — amid a four-game losing streak and growing friction with players and staff — United (3-4-0) rebounded from an early deficit to revive its season and end a six-game skid against Bruce Arena’s powerful Revolution.
