Former England international Ashley Cole scored an own goal as Los Angeles Galaxy's tough start to the MLS campaign continued with a 3-0 loss to Seattle Sounders.

Clint Dempsey put the Sounders ahead in the 29th minute before Cole put through his own goal six minutes later. Jordan Morris rounded off the scoring on the brink of half-time.

The defeat was Galaxy's fifth from seven games this season and only Colorado Rapids are below them in the Western Conference.

The Rapids lost again as Miguel Ibarra's 72nd-minute goal gave Minnesota United a narrow 1-0 win.

Cyle Larin's double sent Orlando City to the top of the Eastern Conference as they beat New York City FC 2-1.
