MLS Review: Cole sees red in Galaxy stalemate, Valeri stunner lifts Timbers

LA Galaxy's Ashley Cole was sent off with 20 minutes remaining against Sporting Kansas City, while the Portland Timbers overcame Toronto FC.

Former England international Ashley Cole was sent off as LA Galaxy extended their unbeaten streak to six matches with a 1-1 draw at Sporting Kansas City in MLS on Sunday.

After Giovani dos Santos canceled out Brad Davis' 30th-minute opener in the first half, Cole was given his marching orders for a second bookable offense in a matter of minutes. Ex-Roma and Chelsea fullback Cole saw red with 20 minutes remaining, despite winning the ball, after his follow through caught Benny Feilhaber on the ankle.
