MLS Review: Revolution move atop Eastern Conference

The New England Revolution jumped to first place in the Eastern Conference with a 2-1 win over the New York Red Bulls.

The New England Revolution leapfrogged the New York Red Bulls atop the Eastern Conference after claiming a 2-1 home victory Wednesday.

The Revs and Red Bulls exchanged goals inside the opening six minutes at Gillette Stadium via Diego Fagundez and Mike Grella. But the hosts had the final say as Kelyn Rowe volleyed home the second-half winner.

Not only did the Revs extend their winning streak to six matches, but they replaced the Red Bulls at the summit by one point, though New York has two games in hand.
