A five-goal second half after a lackluster first 45 minutes led to a 6-1 win over last place New England Revolution on Saturday night, keeping the Philadelphia Union at the top of the standings in the Eastern Conference.
Playing their third game in eight days, the Union had a mostly unchanged lineup from Wednesday with the only changes being Kai Wagner (back from suspension) and Carlos Miguel Coronel starting over the injured Matt Freese, and Olivier Mbaizo being relegated back to a bench role.
Jack Elliott put the team ahead 1-0 in the 11th minute after a fantastic turn and shot that he rifled past the Revolution keeper.
