City rally late to defeat the Dynamo
New York City FC jumped up to third place in the Eastern Conference with a come-from-behind victory over the visiting Houston Dynamo at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
The Dynamo played with 10 men from the 29th minute when Romell Quioto was sent off and took a surprise 2-1 lead through Mauro Manotas with 13 minutes to go in regulation.
However two late goals from Valentín Castellanos gave New York City a 3-2 triumph and helped move the club past DC United and the New York Red Bulls in the standings.
New York City FC are a point behind Atlanta United and just four adrift of the Philadelphia Union who sit atop the Confernece, despite having played two and three games less respectively.
City travel to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta this weekend, for what has suddenly become a riveting match-up against United.
A New York win could really shape the season with only a third of the campaign remaining in the regular season.
Meanwhile the Dynamo stays on the east coast and will make the short trip to play the Union in Philadelphia, also on Sunday.
Houston currently sits outside the playoff places in the Western Conference.
LAFC, Minnesota United, the San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy, Real Salk Lake and FC Dallas are the top seven at the moment, with the Portland Timers eighth but with two games in hand over Dallas.
New York City FC are 10/1 to win the MLS Cup this season, LAFC currently 13/8 and Atlanta United at 8/1.
