Soccer-D.C. United extend MLS lead with 2-1 win over New England

June 21 (Reuters) - D.C. United increased their lead in the Eastern Conference to seven points when two late goals helped them come from behind to beat New England Revolution 2-1 at home on Sunday.

Two goals in the last 20 minutes from Chris Rolfe gave D.C. United the three points after the Revolution had led at half-time thanks to an early Charlie Davies strike.

In a game played in scorching heat, Rolfe scored the equaliser in the 70th minute when he got on the end of Fabian Espindola's inch-perfect cross from the right wing to volley home from six yards.
