WAYNE ROONEY HELPED DC United move clear atop the Eastern Conference in MLS, while LA Galaxy were held to a draw on Wednesday.
Rooney’s fifth goal of the season saw DC United overcome the Columbus Crew 1-0 at MAPFRE Stadium.
The former Manchester United captain struck approaching the half-hour mark for the game’s only goal.
Rooney stepped up to take a free-kick from the edge of the area, curling his strike into the bottom corner.
The win was DC’s fifth in nine games this season, moving them three points clear at the top.
BOOM.
