CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are up in both MLS Power Rankings after their 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC last weekend.
The Galaxy earned their – consecutive win on Saturday when Robbie Keane scored the only goal in Los Angeles’ 1-0 triumph in Seattle. Following the victory, the Galaxy moved up to third in MLSsoccer.com’s rankings and fourth in ESPN FC’s list.
The explanation from each site is below:
The Galaxy are now up to a tie for third in the league in PPG, and here are some other numbers: They're 5-1-2 when Robbie Keane starts, they have only two losses since March, and +13 is far and away the best goal differential in the league. Sorry to say it, Galaxy haters, but this probably won't be the year you get to indulge in schadenfreude.
“Gyasi Zardes is starting to round into the Galaxy's most consistent chance creator. His cross to Robbie Keane for the lone goal against Seattle showed off his rapidly improving vision.”
