Early fireworks arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday night as Los Angeles FC scored five goals in a spectacular display of offensive firepower against Sporting Kansas City. Five different players contributed to goals in the victory, including Carlos Vela who continues his impressive season and quest to secure the Golden Boot and MVP award.
This was the perfect answer for Los Angeles after they drew some criticism following a loss to the Colorado Rapids at the weekend. Here, they showed what they are capable of when they are at their best and made it clear that Friday’ loss in Colorado is nothing more than a one-off situation.
