MLS: Torres goal sends Philadelphia Union top

The Philadelphia Union have climbed to the top of the Eastern Conference standings with a 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls.

Roger Torres got the only goal in the 68th minute, only seconds after coming into the game as a substitute.

Philadelphia take over from New England at the top after the Revolution lost 2-0 at home to Real Salt Lake in a fiery encounter that included three red cards.
