New England ended a four-match winless run with a 3-0 victory over New York City FC on Sunday. The Revs have put together consecutive wins only once all season, doing so on August 6 and 13., with the first of those wins the club’s only other three-goal victory of the season (at Orlando City).
The Red Bulls held 55.9% possession in their loss to the Union, whose 42.8% possession average is second-lowest in MLS (Vancouver – 42.0%), has has won only two of the eight matches in which it’s held more than 50% of the ball this season (D4 L2).
