Donovan scores, LA continues surge with 2-1 win in Beckham’s 3rd MLS game of year with them

Donovan scores, Beckham celebrates win over Revs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —Landon Donovan scored, then jumped into David Beckham’s arms, and the Los Angeles Galaxy celebrated their fifth win in six games, 2-1 over the New England Revolution on Saturday night.

The display of togetherness came barely two months after Donovan criticized Beckham’s leadership and commitment in a book about Beckham’s stint with the Galaxy.

Donovan scored in the 21st minute, when Alan Gordon’s shot ricocheted off Revolution defender Darius Barnes. Donovan volleyed a shot from about 20 yards on the right that curled just inside the post on the far side and past goalkeeper Matt Reis.

Jovan Kirovski’s goal made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute, and Steve Ralston scored for the Revolution on a penalty kick in the 83rd.
