Wayne Rooney sent off as LAFC routs D.C. United thanks to Diego Rossi hat trick

D.C. United’s undefeated run came to a stunning halt after a devastating 4-0 loss against Los Angeles Football Club. Diego Rossi’s hat trick keyed the visitors to a resounding victory, while Wayne Rooney’s 53rd minute red card only compounded a miserable afternoon for the Black-and-Red. Carlos Vela also scored for LAFC, who were dominant throughout.

The action started quickly. In the 9th minute, a run from Jordan Harvey saw Leonardo Jara take extreme defensive measures by sliding and extending his arm out to block the shot, resulting in an immediate penalty to LAFC.
