<p>Inter Miami went in at half-time 2-0 down to NY Red Bulls after seeing former winger Lewis Morgan score twice for the hosts. Tata Martino's side then kept their opponents waiting at the start of the second half after coming out late at a sodden Red Bull Arena. The move by Tata Martino and his men was criticized by former USMNT star Twellman on social media.</p><p></p><div class="affiliate-button-container theme-1" data-name="Apple TV"><div class="affiliate-button"><img class="logo" height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2de198b67da95a2e/65709d2436cf7d0407034ef9/Apple_TV.png" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Get the MLS Season Pass today!</span></div><a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=goal_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l39UY" class="affiliate-button-link" target="_blank">Stream games now</a></div>

WHAT TWELLMAN SAID

<p>Things went from bad to worse for Miami after the break. Wikelman Carmona added a third for the hosts, before Morgan completed his hat-trick with 20 minutes remaining to make it a tough day for Inter Miami. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-inter-miami-sent-strong-message-alexi-lalas-the-villains-of-mls/blt79f3da3b23a093ca" target="_blank">Martino's side have already been described as the "villains" of MLS</a> by Alexi Lalas and are unlikely to win many friends with incidents such as these.</p><p></p>
