Juanjo Purata: I have been trying my best to score

Celebrate the wins. Celebrate the fact that Atlanta United still boasts one of the best attendance ratings in the world despite the craziness of the season. And celebrate Juanjo Purata and his uncanny ability to find himself on the end of crosses in clutch moments.

Atlanta United battled D.C. United to a 3-2 win Sunday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and they set a couple of records in the process. For one, this was the first match of the season where Atlanta United won after initially going down a goal. Second, this version of the Five Stripes were the first ever to score three headed goals in a match in club history and the first team in MLS to do so this season.
