Games like D.C. United’s 5-0 demolishing of Real Salt Lake on Saturday don’t come around very often. Sure, it was aided by a (correct) VAR-aided penalty and a couple of (also correct) red cards, but United took full advantage of the calls to run up the score — exactly what a team with trophy aspirations does in that situation.
So, what do we know about first-place United today that we didn’t before kickoff?
Okay, we probably knew this beforehand. But we hadn’t seen it firsthand with him in Black-and-Red, and now we have!
