The New England Revolution surrendered two separate leads vs. the LA Galaxy on Saturday. Teal Bunbury made sure they did not give up a third.
A Bunbury brace off the bench snapped the Revolution's four-game losing streak in a wild 4-3 win over the Galaxy at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. Bunbury scored both of his goals shortly after entering the field, first scoring on a header in the 70th minute before firing home the eventual winner three minutes later.
New England had jumped in front twice before Bunbury came to the rescue, but could not prevent LA from finding equalizers through Daniel Steres. The Revolution gave up another goal after Bunbury's pair of tallies, but held on for the victory.
