HARRISON, New Jersey (AP) - Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his Major League Soccer-leading 21st goal of the season to help the New York Red Bulls beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Saturday.

Wright-Phillips scored on a penalty in the 11th minute after he was tripped by Matt Besler. Former France international Thierry Henry made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute, curling a shot past Sporting goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum.

Dominic Dwyer pulled one back for Kansas City two minutes later, but Sporting couldnt find the equalizer.

Elsewhere, Giles Barnes scored two goals to lead the Houston Dynamo past the Montreal Impact 3-2.

Barnes opened the scoring in the 30th minute, capitalizing on a defensive mistake to send a shot past goalkeeper Evan Bush.

Montreals Dilly Duka equalized in the 40th, but Houston responded with two goals in a three-minute span - one by Barnes, the other by Ricardo Clark - to put the game out of reach.

In Sandy, Utah, Costa Rica international Alvaro Saborio headed home the winner off Javier Morales corner in the 77th minute as Real Salt Lake beat FC Dallas 2-1.

Saborio came in as a substitute for Olmes Garcia in the 76th minute for his first action following a six-month layoff due to a foot injury.
