It was a weekend of Major League Soccer action that saw both first-placed teams slip up. Los Angeles FC lost away to the in-form Colorado Rapids, while the Philadelphia Union were defeated by New York City FC in the Bronx.
Thanks to Philadelphia’s defeat, the top five in the East are now separated by just six points, with fifth-placed NYCFC having four games in hand over the top three sides.
That leads us on to the first of the top three performances from Week 17 in MLS.
New York City FC put four goals past the Union, with a certain duo putting in the star efforts.
