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.
Fafà 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).
