Thierry Henry and Kenny Cooper each scored twice to help the New York Red Bulls beat the Columbus Crew 4-1 on Saturday.

Cooper scored in the third and 13th minutes to give him six goals this season, and Henry added goals in the 40th and 90th to regain the MLS goals lead with seven.

The two forwards have scored all but one goal this season for the Red Bulls (3-2).

New York won its third straight behind rookie goalkeeper Ryan Meara. He had seven saves but lost his shutout in the 89th minute when Chad Marshall scored on a header off Kirk Urso's corner kick.

The Crew dropped to 2-2.
