FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Tommy McNamara and Tajon Buchanan scored four minutes apart in the second half and the New England Revolution beat DC United 3-2 on Wednesday night.

New England (14-3-4) have won seven of their last eight games – with one draw – to stay ahead of the Supporters’ Shield race. DC United (8-9-3) lost to New England for the fifth time in a row.

McNamara tied for 1 in the 49th with a curling shot from a distance. Buchanan scored the go-ahead goal in the 53rd, a cross from Emmanuel Boateng with one touch at the far post.

DeJuan Jones made it 3-1 in the 85th, calmly sending a loose ball from the penalty spot.

Paul Arriola opened the scoring for United in the 10th by forcing a turnaround near midfield and moving past the defense to Edison Flores’ deep ball for a calm finish.

Ramón Ábila scored for United in the 96th.
