Jordan Morris came into his rookie season in MLS with massive expectations and pressure. The Seattle Sounders sold one of the best players they’ve ever had in Obafemi Martins to make room for the highly touted American youngster.
It’s been an up-and-down season for Morris who has drawn criticism for not being clinical enough in front of goal, but today he scored his 11th goal of the season, the most any American rookie has ever scored in MLS. And what a goal it was to get the record:
Morris outmuscled LA Galaxy defender, Daniel Steres, to go in on goal 1 v 1.
