Two second-half goals help LAFC (17-3-4, 55 pts) defeat the New York Red Bulls (11-10-4, 37 pts), 4-2, on Sunday night at Banc of California Stadium.

LAFC remained perfect at home, improving to 10-0-3 overall and the only team left in MLS without a loss at home in league play.

LAFC quickly grab a 2-0 lead as Jordan Harvey and Latif Blessing tallied back-to-back goals in a two-minute span.

New York responds with two goals of their own to end the half as Cristian Casseres Jr. and an LAFC own goal level the match, 2-2.

LAFC regained and held onto the lead as Carlos Vela converted a penalty kick for his 23rd goal of the season and Eddie Segura finished the match with the insurance goal in the 71st.

Casseres Jr. raised his season total to three goals in his 14th match. The 19-year-old Venezuelan midfielder has three goals and three assists on the season.

It was just the second time in 2019 that New York has allowed four goals in league play, both of which have come on the road to Western Conference teams.

New York returns home to host the New England Revolution on Saturday, August 17 at Red Bull Arena. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. EST with coverage on MSG, MSG Go and New York Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.
