Way back on March 6, David Accam’s 2016 home season began vs. NYCFC with a goal and an assist, with the latter coming off his coy steal deep in opposing territory.
In Sunday’s home finale, Accam again notched a goal and an assist and this time alertly swiped possession off the foot of New England goalkeeper Brad Knighton, resulting in a pivotal sending-off in the 73rd minute.
While his team’s results over the course of the long MLS season have not been to Accam’s liking, the two performances have bookended a stellar season for the Fire’s game-changing Designated Player.
