(Reuters) - Ashley Cole scored in the 89th minute to give the Los Angeles Galaxy a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday.
Gonzalo Veron put the Red Bulls ahead in the 68th minute and Sean Davis looked to have sealed the win six minutes later when he put the visitors 2-0 up.
However, Steven Gerrard set up Mike Magee in the 80th minute to give the Galaxy hope before Cole snatched the late equaliser as Los Angles extended their unbeaten run to eight matches.

“It’s a huge win for us,” Dempsey said. “If we have any hopes of making a run we needed to start now. We need to build on it.”
