MLS: New York Red Bulls beat FC Dallas to record back-to-back wins

New York Red Bulls eased to a 4-0 victory over FC Dallas in the MLS on Friday evening.

After dominating the early exchanges, Lloyd Sam's close-range finish shortly before the break put the hosts in front.

Sacha Kljestan headed in a second soon after the restart, following up after Sam's long-range effort hit the crossbar.

Mike Grella made it 3-0 with a header in the 71st minute, and Felipe rounded off the scoring late on.

The victory is New York's second in a row while Dallas could lose their grip on top spot in the Western Conference on Saturday.
