MLS Review: Dallas moves top with LAFC scalp

FC Dallas claimed top spot in the MLS Western Conference after overcoming Los Angeles FC, while the Philadelphia Union had two players sent off in their loss to Atlanta United .

In-form Dallas moved ahead of Sporting Kansas City by a point in the west thanks to Saturday's 2-1 victory against 10-man LAFC – the club extending its unbeaten streak to six games.

Former Tottenham defender Reto Ziegler opened the scoring with his first MLS goal in the 25th minute – the Dallas left-back heading a stray ball past Tyler Miller at Toyota Stadium.

Roland Lamah doubled the lead six minutes into the second half courtesy of a well-taken finish inside the penalty area.
