MLS Review: Red Bulls upstage Atlanta United thanks to Wright-Phillips brace

The New York Red Bulls continued their fine form with a 3-1 win at 10-man Eastern Conference leaders Atlanta United, while Houston Dynamo came from behind to beat Chicago Fire in MLS.

Bradley Wright-Phillips scored twice in the second half as the in-form Red Bulls rallied past Atlanta for their fourth consecutive win on Sunday.

Atlanta hit the front in the 26th minute via Ezequiel Barco and the hosts thought they made it 2-0 five minutes later thanks to Josef Martinez.

However, Martinez's goal was ruled out by the video assistant referee (VAR) for a foul in the lead-up.
