SEATTLE -- Chad Marshall headed in a corner kick from Marco Pappa in the 84th minute Saturday night as the Seattle Sounders completed a comeback from a first-half own goal to beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1. The Sounders (6-2-1) won their MLS-leading fourth straight game, extended their unbeaten streak to five and took the overall league lead with 19 points. "I think Ill be thinking about that goal tonight," said Marshall, whose tally was his first since Sept. 14, 2013, while still with the Columbus Crew before he came to Seattle in an off-season trade. "Ive been close a couple times this year, so it was nice to get one, especially at home. And for it to be a game-winner was pretty sweet." During their five-game unbeaten streak, the Sounders have come from behind in four of them to get the result. "We said at the beginning of the season that we wanted to be a team that fought to the very end of games, and were doing that," coach Sigi Schmid said. "Coming back, we made it a little bit hard for ourselves. We had some good chances in the first half. . We didnt put those chances away." Philadelphia (1-4-5) saw its winless streak extended to eight games (0-4-4), tying a club record that was first set in 2011 and matched in 2012. Pappas corner kick from the right side floated into the penalty area just outside the 6-yard box. Marshall ran and headed it high into the net over goalkeeper Zac MacMath for his first of the year. Marshall was also on top of his game at the other end of the field, blocking several Philadelphia attempts and clearing away two that were dangerously close to the Seattle net. "Im a big guy, and Im just trying to get in their way," said the 6-foot-4 Marshall, who has played all 810 minutes this season. "I think I have a nice Adidas tattoo on my back from one of (the blocked shots)." The Union took the lead late in the 13th minute when a long free kick into the penalty area went into the Seattle net off of Brad Evans head. The own goal was the result of a free kick by the Unions Cristian Maidana about 40 yards upfield and slightly toward the right side. He drove it into the box, where teammate Maurice Edu and Seattles Evans both went up for it. The ball flew into the right side of the net and originally was credited to Edu, but was changed moments later to an own goal off of Evans. Obafemi Martins tied it for Seattle in the 61st minute, his fourth goal of the season. The Sounders created multiple opportunities to tie it before halftime, none better than Osvaldo Alonsos penalty kick early in the 40th minute after Philadelphias Amobi Okugo was called for a hand ball in the box. Alonso went toward the right post, but MacMath dived to his left and blocked it. Evans started the play that led to the tying goal when he headed a short ball into the penalty area. Martins caught up with it at the penalty spot, took it to the top of the 6-yard box and shot into a wide-open right side of the net for his fourth of the season. "Its a difficult one to take because we came in and played well in the first half and we got up a goal," Union coach John Hackworth said. "Even in the second half, we had some chances to get a second one, and we didnt put those away. They came back to get back in the game, and Chad Marshall makes a great play on a corner kick - I dont know what to say. "Once again, we kind of let ourselves down." Timofey Mozgov Jersey .

Jason Williams Jersey . - The width of Alec Martinezs shin guard was the difference between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks in their playoff series opener. Arron Afflalo Jersey .com) - Nino Williams posted 18 points and seven rebounds, as Kansas State edged No.Even sat in the away dressing room, Manchester Uniteds players would not have been able to escape the sounds of West Hams celebrations. There, in the depths of the soon-to-be demolished Boleyn Ground, the visiting players were left to contemplate how they had let Champions League qualification slip from their grasp, as fireworks crackled outside. With 14 minutes to play, Anthony Martial had given Manchester United a 2-1 lead. Victory would have moved Louis van Gaals side back into the top four for the first time since mid-December. They would only have needed to match Manchester Citys result at Swansea in their season finale at home to Bournemouth - a team who have only managed to beat rock-bottom Aston Villa in their past seven matches. Yet, two expert deliveries from Dimitri Payet - combined with two clinically accurate headers from Michail Antonio and Winston Reid - turned the game on its head, and left Manchester United needing a favour from Francesco Guidolins Swansea on Sunday. Louis van Gaal still feels that it is possible for Manchester United to qualify for the Champions League Afterwards, Van Gaal conceded to Sky Sports the defeat was a mental blow to his players. As much as he argued Swanseas case and pointed out Champions League qualification was still possible, the Dutchman could not hide the opportunity missed.After a season of supporter unrest at his style, Van Gaal has often fallen back on key results, such as wins at rivals Manchester City and Liverpool. Now, he and his side are on course to miss their major target of the campaign. Man City will be hungry.dddddddddddd. You dont give Sergio Aguero and his like another chance because they will lap it up. Jamie Redknapp I dont see it happening, said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, when asked whether Swansea could shock Manuel Pellegrinis men and do United a favour. City will be hungry. You dont give the likes of Sergio Aguero another chance because they will lap it up.City have taken just five points from their last 12 available and their 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday had provided Manchester United with a way back into the top four.Of course, seizing that opening was no easy task against a West Ham team and home support fired up by the occasion. A barrage of bottles as the Manchester United team bus made its way to the Boleyn signalled the visitors would not be in for an easy ride and, from the first whistle, West Ham had the top-four challengers pegged back. Anthony Martial had put the visitors 2-1 up in the second half Diafra Sakho struck after just 10 minutes and, after Antonios equaliser cancelled out Anthony Martials double, the hosts seemed to ride a wave of support to an historic victory. Manchester Uniteds problem was failing to match West Hams intensity.West Ham won every second ball. They wanted it more, said Redknapp. Van Gaal said this was a special place for West Ham tonight, but surely it was special for Man United today, too? They had an opportunity to get into the top four. They were just out-fought in every department.Manchester United must pick up the fight on Sunday and hope their neighbours City, who needed a late, late winner to see off Swansea at the Etihad in December, slip-up. There is no more they can do. Wayne Rooney and Manchester United will be hoping Manchester City slip up There has been debate as to whether a top-four finish and an FA Cup win could be seen as a positive season for Van Gaals United. With the first part of that double now in doubt, it heaps even more onus on the clubs Wembley date with Crystal Palace.Big results at big moments have boosted Van Gaal at key points of this season. Now he needs some very big results to go his way. Also See: Hammers Boleyn farewell Hammers win Boleyn thriller ' ' '
