LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham was delighted to have scored the winner over Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center on Saturday night.

Recently, Beckham's relationship with the Galaxy fans has been somewhat strained but after netting the only goal to give his side three important points, some pressure has been lifted.

"It always helps, of course, you know," Beckham said. "It's always nice to score a goal. It's always nice to win a game, especially when it's against your rivals. It was a big game for us, because we wanted to keep our momentum up in the playoff spot. We needed three points, and we're happy."
