CARSON, Calif. — Adam Cristman scored two goals in a four-minute span to give the New England Revolution a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday night.

The Revolution (10-4-3) used the victory to extend their lead in the Eastern Conference to seven points over second-place Columbus.

David Beckham scored his fifth goal of the season for the Galaxy (6-6-3), which saw its winless streak extend to three games.

Cristman scored his first goal in the 33rd minute. Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin stopped Shalrie Joseph’s 14-yard header off Maurcio Castro’s corner kick, but Cristman pounced on the rebound and converted from three yards.

In the 37th minute, Cristman scored his career-high sixth goal of the season with an 8-yard header off Steve Ralston’s corner kick.

Beckham narrowed the deficit in the 65th minute on a 15-yard volley that deflected off Revolution defender and Cranston native Michael Parkhurst.

Los Angeles had a chance to tie the score in the 77th minute, but Edson Buddle’s 12-yard shot off Beckham’s crossing pass from the right flank hit the crossbar.

The Galaxy’s Landon Donovan, who had the flu earlier this week, entered the game in the 46th minute.

Los Angeles’ Chris Klein established a MLS record with his 100th consecutive start. Revolution defender Jay Heaps set a team record by making his 200th career start.
