Atlanta United and its fans have brought home countless Goal of the Week awards thanks to the online voting system MLS currently has in place. As far as we know, every time they’ve been nominated, they’ve won. With that in mind, you can understand why the league may make it a little more difficult for Atlanta goals to reach the nomination list.
One way around that? Score an undeniably stunning goal that they can’t ignore. That’s exactly what the did to finish off their 2-0 win at the Philadelphia Union on Saturday. Tito Villalba finished off the move, but it would be nonsense to give credit to any one individual.
