Sounders reach the Western summit
Lamar Neagle continues his goalscoring streak as Seattle Sounders defeat MLS Western Conference rivals Real Salt Lake 2-0 at Centurylink Field.

Seattle Sounders have leapfrogged Real Salt Lake into first place in the MLS Western Conference courtesy of a 2-0 win at Centurylink Field.

Sigi Schmid's men started the day two points behind the Royals but goals from Obafemi Martins and Lamar Neagle.

The former Newcastle United striker got the hosts off to the perfect start in the third minute after being found by Marc Burch.

Rave Green continued to dominate thereafter, with Martins nearly doubling their advantage in the eighth minute.

However, they had to wait until seven minutes before the break to extend their lead, with Neagle powering home from DeAndre Yedlin's cross from the right.

Real goalkeeper Nick Rimando pulled off a fine save to deny Neagle a second in the 54th minute.

The 34-year-old was in fine form to limit the damage to just two goals, which means that Jason Kreis and his side surrender top spot.
