Remember that team dressed in black and red that couldn’t score goals and couldn’t win?
That was before Patrick Mullins and Lloyd Sam came to town, before Patrick Nyarko regained full health, before Luciano Acosta found his way and D.C. United’s support system took hold.
The attack has been humming for weeks now and, with one defeat in 11 matches, United is in good position to earn an MLS playoff berth.
After a difficult first half Wednesday, United kept things rolling at damp RFK Stadium with three goals in the last 20 minutes for a 3-0 victory over the Columbus Crew.
