The D.C. midfielder now has four goals on the season, while rookie Nick DeLeon added his third goal for the hosts, who moved past New York (3-3-1) to claim second place in the Eastern Conference. Thierry Henry scored in the 72nd minute for the Red Bulls, grabbing a share of the MLS scoring lead with his eighth tally of the season.
