Justin Braun scored a superb hat-trick to give Chivas a surprise win at Eastern Conference leaders New York Red Bull on Sunday.

Braun opened the scoring early on and restored his side's lead after 31 minutes following Thierry Henry's equaliser.

Dwayne De Rosario's penalty drew the home side level for a second time just three minutes later, but Braun had the last word with his third 11 minutes into the second half.

It was just the second defeat of the season for the New Yorkers although they remain top, a point clear of Philadelphia Union. Chivas remain in the lower reaches of the Western Conference despite collecting three valuable points.
