FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) --- Seattle got goals from Hassani Dotson, Dejan
Joveljic and Paul Arriola to back a clean sheet from Andrew Thomas and the
Sounders extended their unbeaten run to nine with a 3-0 victory over the New
England Revolution on Saturday night.
Thomas finished with five saves to earn his eighth shutout in 28 starts after
taking the reins from mainstay Stefan Frei this season. The Sounders have won
four in a row following five straight draws.
Dotson staked Seattle to a 1-0 lead with his third goal of the season, scoring
unassisted from long distance in the 15th minute.
Joveljic added an insurance goal in the 74th minute with assists from
substitute Paul Arriola and Albert Rusnk. It was Joveljic's third goal in five
appearances with the Sounders since coming over in a trade with Sporting Kansas
City where he had eight goals in 20 matches.
Arriola capped the scoring in the 81st minute with his second goal to go along
with two assists this season. Rusnk added his league-leading 14th assist and
Jess Ferreira snagged his sixth after entering as a second-half sub.
Matt Turner saved two shots for the Revolution, who fell to 9-3-2 at home and
dropped from second place to fourth in the Eastern Conference with the loss.
Seattle improves to 4-5-5 on the road.
