Arrieta scores twice, rallies DC United over Fire 3-1

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jairo Arrieta scored two goals and D.C. United rolled to a 3-1 comeback victory over the Chicago Fire on Wednesday night.

Eastern Conference leader United (8-3-4) has won two straight since snapping a three-game winless skid (0-2-1), and ran its home unbeaten streak to 20 games, breaking the club record.

David Accam scored in the 28th minute to give the Fire (4-6-2) a 1-0 halftime lead. It was all United in the second half.

Arrieta scored on a header in the 61st minute. United took the lead for good when Arrieta passed the ball to Nick DeLeon, who passed it right back to Arrieta.
