Orlando City has been reliant upon Cyle Larin to bear the brunt of its scoring burden in 2017. This isn’t new, as we’ve discussed Larin’s scoring here recently and not as recently. The Canadian has been the Lions’ go-to scorer almost since the day he was drafted No. 1 overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
With a strike partner more suited to setting up others than scoring himself, and the team’s secondary goal scorer getting injured 10 minutes into the season, Larin has never borne so much of the heavy lifting in his three-year career.
