Orlando City: In Chris Mueller, the Lions have a star

It took just 71 seconds for Chris Mueller to notch the third goal of his burgeoning MLS career as Orlando City SC hung on to overcome a late fightback from the San Jose Earthquakes to extend their league-leading winning streak to four games.

Playing wide on the right again, the sensational rookie may have started the scoring in superlative fashion, but it was his overall influence on proceedings and his game intelligence later in the match that really shone through.

Take Orlando’s third and final goal for instance. At first glance, it looks as though Mueller has no influence on the play.
