CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy dropped in all three of the league's notable power rankings.
Los Angeles earned a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, extending their unbeaten streak to eight games. The Galaxy fell to third in Sports Illustrated's rankings, fourth in MLSsoccer.com and fifth in ESPN FC's list.
"The Galaxy found themselves in the unfamiliar position of being down multiple goals at home, but rallied well to force a 2-2 draw. Ashley Cole, who hadn’t scored a goal in nearly four years as a professional, netted the tying goal. The Galaxy could easily have lost this game, but as it is they’ll be happy to extend their unbeaten run to eight games."
"Unbeaten in eight, but they've drawn three of their last five at home and are still having to play a ton of emergency defense. The scoreline is what matters most, but teams that play on the edge eventually tend to pay the price."
"It took the Galaxy 80 minutes to wake up in a home game on national television against the Red Bulls. The ending was thrilling, but that's not the LA we expect to see come August."
