After knocking off the New England Revolution 2-0 at home on August 19, D.C. United picked up its first clean sheet since April. For a team that has struggled defensively all season, Sunday’s victory proved to be a milestone.
With three straight wins for the first time since last August, the club has never looked better this season. While it might be easy to attribute this success to the arrival of forward Wayne Rooney, many have underscored the importance of home-field advantage for this club.
Prior to the start of the season, D.C. United was without a home.
