The New England Revolution have started the 2021 MLS season at a historic pace, amassing seven points through their first three matches.
Their latest calling card is a 2-1 win over Atlanta United at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night, a result that moved them atop the Eastern Conference standings.
The Revolution (2W-0L-1D) took full advantage of Atlanta (1W-1D-1L) rotating its squad while being caught at the midpoint of a Concacaf Champions League quarterfinal series against the Philadelphia Union. They also countered the intensity and Five Stripes' head coach Gabriel Heinze prefers.
