Philadelphia Union: Cory Burke impactful despite historically bad performance

In a 3-1 home victory over the Chicago Fire, Philadelphia Union forward Cory Burke managed to do the unimaginable. He hassled Chicago’s back line, constantly threatened in behind, got on the end of a cross to extend the Union’s lead, and drew the penalty that put the result out of reach in the 87th minute, all while having a game that he would otherwise like to forget.

Burke managed to complete just four passes over the course of the 90 minutes according to WhoScored.com. While that is woeful in and of itself, the Jamaican attempted just two passes in the first half, missing the mark on both occasions.
