MLS Review: New York City misses chance to pile pressure on Toronto

New York City failed to put pressure on Toronto and return to the top of the MLS Eastern Conference as they drew 2-2 with Western Conference leaders Dallas on Saturday.

The hosts looked set for defeat at Yankee Stadium after Maximiliano Urruti and Michael Barrios turned the game in Dallas' favour after Thomas McNamara had initially put New York City ahead eight minutes in.

But Khiry Shelton ensured a share of the spoils for New York City, converting Jack Harrison's excellent left-wing cross 12 minutes from time. 

Two goals from Kelyn Rowe gave New England Revolution their third straight win as they beat Montreal Impact 3-1 despite Didier Drogba's 50th-minute penalty.

DC United needed a last-gasp equaliser from Bobby Boswell to draw 2-2 with strugglers Chicago Fire and stay within two points of sixth-placed New England in the Eastern Conference.

Alex's 36th-minute header saw Houston Dynamo - bottom of the Western Conference - claim a 1-0 win at Real Salt Lake.
