Miller and Sands score goals, Turner has 8 saves as Revolution beat Atlanta 2-1
ATLANTA (AP) --- Peyton Miller scored a goal, Will Sands added his first goal
in MLS, and the New England Revolution beat Atlanta United 2-1 on Wednesday
night.
The Revolution (5-3-0) has won four straight and five of its last six.
Matt Turner had eight saves for New England.
Atlanta (1-7-1) has lost four in a row and is winless in five straight. The
club has the worst goal differential (minus-20) in MLS.
Miller capped the scoring with a first-touch shot from point-blank range in the
78th minute.
Faf Picault scored his first goal of the season in the 38th. The 36-year-old
Picault signed a free-agent contract with Atlanta --- his seventh MLS club ---
in February and has 61 career regular-season goals.
Sands flicked a header, off a corner kick played in by Carles Gil, from the
center of the area inside to back post to make it 1-1 in the 73rd minute.
New England's Alhassan Yussuf appeared to have scored a goal --- using his
first touch to pop up a pass from Ilay Feingold and then blasting a volley from
just outside the penalty arc the deflected off the bottom of the crossbar into
the net --- in the 19th minute but it was called back after VAR review
(offside).
