TUCSON, Ariz. – Many pieces of the New England Revolution’s attack are interchangeable, and in Wednesday night’s 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo, Teal Bunbury reminded everyone as much.
Bunbury, who has spent the bulk of his time in New England playing on the wing, started the second half at the top of New England’s attack in a target role. It was the first time this preseason that someone other than Charlie Davies or Juan Agudelo played as the target striker.
The results were promising. Bunbury twice used his pace to get in behind the Dynamo backline, running onto long balls from Donnie Smith and Michael Gamble.
