CARSON, Calif. - Robbie Keane returned from knee surgery to score two goals, Gyasi Zardes had two assists and the Los Angeles Galaxy beat the New England Revolution 4-2 on Sunday.

Los Angeles (5-1-3) extended its undefeated streak to seven games. New England (1-3-7) pushed its winless stretch to six games.

The Galaxy went up 1-0 after Zardes' cross found a wide open Keane at the far post for an easy tap in. The duo made it 3-0 in the first minute of first-half stoppage time. Once again, Zardes used individual skill to draw defenders and found Keane freed up in front of goal.

Giovani dos Santos scored Los Angeles' second goal in the 24th minute on a volley from distance.

New England rallied in the second half. Kelyn Rowe's left-footed shot from outside the 18-yard box put the Revolution on the board in the 67th minute. Three minutes later, Juan Agudelo turned on a shot in front of goal to make it 3-2.

Los Angeles iced it when Steven Gerrard finished off a counter attack in the 93rd minute.
