Landon Donovan scored a pair of goals for the Los Angeles Galaxy, but Shalrie Joseph's first goal of the season helped the New England Revolution salvage a 2-2 tie last night in an MLS match in Foxborough, Mass.

Joseph's goal in the 71st minute helped New England (11-6-5) extend the Galaxy's winless streak to 10 (0-5-5). The Revolution is unbeaten in its last nine matches (7-0-2) against Los Angeles, which brought David Beckham to New England for the first time. . . .

Guillermo Barros Schelotto had two assists, giving him a league-leading 16 on the season, to give Columbus a 2-1 win over FC Dallas and the MLS lead with 40 points.

FC Dallas (6-8-8) outshot the Crew (12-6-4) 18-8 but remained winless in its past three games. . . .

In San Jose, Darren Huckerby scored in the 84th minute to lift the Earthquakes past Kansas City, 2-1, and out of last place in the Western Conference for the first time all season. . . .

Atiba Harris scored deep in extra time to give Chivas USA a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC in Carson, Calif.

ยท PREMIER LEAGUE: Arsenal defeated Newcastle, 3-0, behind two first-half goals from Robin Van Persie yesterday in London, emphatically bouncing back from last weekend's surprise loss to Fulham. . . .

Newcomer Hull suffered its first Premier League loss when it was beaten by Wigan, 5-0. Everton also lost at home as Portsmouth recovered from two straight defeats with a 3-0 win. Middlesbrough needed a late Tuncay Sanli goal to beat 10-man Stoke, 2-1. . . .

League leader Chelsea plays Tottenham today. Defending champion Manchester United is idle.
