Robbie Keane has scored twice in Los Angeles Galaxy's 3-1 win over D.C. United on Sunday, after a poor week for the reigning MLS champions.
Keane grabbed his first just before the half-time whistle, tapping home after Todd Dunivant headed a cross back across goal to the Republic of Ireland international.
After 69 minutes, Keane had two.
Landon Donovan burst through the middle of the pitch before passing to the 31-year-old who thumped a left-footed shot into the opposite corner from just inside the penalty area.
Marcelo Sarvas scored Galaxy's third in the 86th minute, while Nick DeLeon knocked in a consolation goal for United a minute later.
The win was LA's first in three games after an opening day defeat to Real Salt Lake and a CONCACAF Champions League loss to Toronto on Wednesday.
The Galaxy join Seattle and San Jose on three points in the Western Conference.
In Sunday's other match, Colorado Rapids stunned Philadelphia Union 2-1 at home despite having Jeff Larentowicz sent off in the 58th minute.
The home side's goalkeeper Zac MacMath was at fault for the Rapids' first goal, dropping a cross, which allowed Jaime Castrillon to score after 56 minutes.
Tony Cascio doubled the lead six minutes later, when his powerful drive squeezed under MacMath, although Lionard Pajoy ensured a nervous finish for the visitors when he scored Philadelphia's goal in the 67th minute.
The victory sees Colorado take a share of the lead in the Western Conference alongside RSL and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
