SANTA CLARA, California (AP) -- Steven Lenhart scored twice in the final 11 minutes to help the MLS-leading San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-2 draw against English Premier League side Swansea City in a friendly on Tuesday.

The Swans, who had goals from Danny Graham and Chico in the 41st and 60th minutes, ha a win, a draw and a loss on their preseason U.S. tour.

Lenhart, a second-half substitute, crashed home a beautiful square pass from Shea Salinas to bring San Jose back within a goal in the 79th. Then he headed home a curling cross from Rafael Baca deep on the right wing to equalize in the 85th.

Graham, the Swans' leading scorer last season with 12 Premier League goals, took advantage of a botched back pass to give Swansea the lead just before halftime.

Graham scooped up a loose ball after an attempted back pass from San Jose defender Ramiro Corrales failed to connect with goalkeeper David Bingham. Graham rounded Bingham and easily slotted the ball home.

Chico, a Spanish center back signed by Swansea City earlier this month from Genoa, powered home a header in the 60th minute despite Bingham's efforts at the back post.

Leroy Lita had a couple of late chances for Swansea, but couldn't convert.
