Sam Surridge's hat trick powers Nashville SC past Revs

Sam Surridge, Major League Soccer's leading scorer, scored a hat trick to help Nashville SC post a 3-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday in Foxborough, Mass.

Surridge now paces the league with 15 goals, surpassing Philadelphia's Tai Baribo's 13, while leading Nashville (10-4-5, 35 points) to its second straight win and extending its unbeaten streak to 10 games (6-0-4).

Nashville, which recorded 15 shot attempts to New England's nine and put six on goal to New England's four, hasn't lost since April 19.

New England (6-6-5, 23 points) dropped its second straight game after a 10-day stretch without playing. Tomas Chancalay scored and assisted for the Revolution, who previously tied Nashville 0-0 in the season opener.

After Nashville tied the game 1-1 right before halftime, the Revs reclaimed the lead in the 49th minute as Brayan Ceballos scored his first goal of the season on a header assisted by Chancalay.

Just two minutes later, Nashville's Daniel Lovitz delivered a header off a pass from Hany Mukhtar. Surridge made contact with the ball near the goal line. The goal initially was credited to Lovitz before Surridge later received credit, but either way, Nashville had tied the match again.

Nashville then grabbed its first lead on Surridge's final goal of the night, this one coming on a 58th-minute penalty kick after Mamadou Fofana fouled Mukhtar.

The game's first shot attempt came in the 11th minute, as Mukhtar's corner came up empty. New England struck first in the 15th minute, with Carles Gil finding Chancalay, whose left-footed shot was whistled past Joe Willis to give the Revolution a 1-0 edge.

Mukhtar and Surridge had attempts saved by Aljaz Ivacic in the 25th and the 28th minutes, respectively.

In the second minute of first-half stoppage time, Surridge knotted the score with a header in the bottom left corner on an assist from Jonathan Perez.
