Dempsey helps Sounders secure late win over Red Bulls (Reuters)

(Reuters) - Clint Dempsey's goal-bound volley was steered home by team mate Chad Barrett in the 91st minute as the Seattle Sounders grabbed a last-gasp 2-1 win over New York Red Bulls on Sunday.

Lloyd Sam's goal in the 36th minute had given the Red Bulls the lead before Seattle got back on level terms through Marco Pappa with 20 minutes remaining.

Dempsey, who will sit out U.S. national team friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands this month as he awaits the birth of his fourth child, ghosted in at the far post behind the New York defense to meet a cross from the right.
