Johnson: We have to have that mentality

NYCFC have conceded just one goal in the last 417 minutes, and their road wins in that stretch -- all by 2-0 scorelines -- have come against strong competition: D.C. United (6-3-2), Montreal(6-5-2) and now LA (7-4-1). One more road win, and they'll equal last year's total.

“I take pride in that, keeping the ball out of the back of the net,” goalkeeper Sean Johnson said. “I think for the last four games we've been really, really good, both home and on the road, and we have to have that mentality. And now that we've set that bar, there's another level for us to achieve, and everybody's hungry.”
