David Beckham grabbed three impressive assists as LA Galaxy were defeated 5-4 by New York Red Bulls. In a capacity 66,000 stadium, Beckham shone but it was not enough as a Juan Pablo Angel inspired NY side grabbed the victory.
The Giants stadium was full to capacity as LA Galaxy took an early 2-0 lead with a great assist from Beckham. Carlos Pavon got on the scoresheet twice, however NY looked very impressive especially through ex-Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel.
David Beckham made his first start since joining the club and the game was played on artificial turf, and the game was played at a great pace but Beckham looked lively throughout.
After half time, the Red Bulls grabbed 4 goals, and Landon Donovan and Edson Buttle both scored late goals to bring the scores back to 4-4. However, Juan Pablo Angel, in the last couple of minutes, scored a great winner to seal the victory.
Angel's two goals brings his tally this season to 12. Beckham did pick up a knock and his ankle looked very swollen at the end, but he hopes to still appear for England in the upcoming friendly against Germany.
