WASHINGTON (AP) --- Alhassan Yusuf scored three goals, his first multi-goal
game in MLS, and the New England Revolution beat D.C. United 3-0 on Wednesday
to snap a three-game winless skid.
Yusuf became the eighth player in franchise history to record a hat trick in
the regular season and the first since Kei Kamara on Sept. 2, 2017.
Jack Harrison had a career-high three assists for the Revolution (10-7-3). Matt
Turner had three saves.
D.C. United (5-6-9) had its six-game unbeaten streak snapped.
Peyton Miller played a centering header, off an arcing ball from the right side
to back post from Harrison, and Yusuf slammed home a header to open the scoring
in the 23rd minute. Yusuf tapped in a volley, off a perfectly-placed ball
played in from the left wing to the back post, from point-blank range to make
it 2-0 in the 45th.
Yusuf, who has a career-high five goals this season, redirected a header off a
entry played into the area by Harrison, into the net in the 66th minute to
secure the hat trick.
Sean Johnson had five saves for D.C. United.
The Revolution are unbeaten (3-0-1) in four straight against D.C. United and
lead the regular season series 39-37-16.
