Atlanta United FCvsNew England Revolution
ATL 1/NE 4
Things to say
New England Revolution beat Atlanta United 4-1 at Gillette Stadium.
01
opener
Revs put four past Atlanta at home, easy 4-1. Never in doubt once they got rolling. Atlanta just had no answer.
02
key player
Carles Gil ran the whole thing, 72 completed passes and pulling the strings all night. Guy's the engine of this team.
03
hot take
Atlanta at 3-3-11 is straight-up shambolic. That season's over, they're just playing out the string.
04
deep cut
Turner still made five saves even in a blowout, so it could've been uglier. And Almirón had seven shots for Atlanta with nothing to show for it.
05
exit
Revs are humming at 9-2-5, gonna be a tough out down the stretch. Curious to see if they keep it up next week.
The recap
New England battered Atlanta 4-1 at Gillette and honestly it wasn't even that close. Carles Gil ran the show in midfield, pulling the strings with 72 accurate passes while the Revs kept coming in waves.
Atlanta's Almirón fired seven shots trying to drag them back into it, but Matt Turner slammed the door with five saves and the visitors' lone goal was cold comfort. New England sit pretty at 9-2-5; Atlanta, at 3-3-11, are having an absolute nightmare of a season.
