FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Andrew Farrell had been thinking about how he’d celebrate his first professional goal for a long, long time.
“It’s really funny because sometimes I talk about it before games, that I’m going to score. I talk to my girlfriend about it, and it never happens,” Farrell said. “Today we were talking about it with Teal (Bunbury) and he was like, ‘What are you going to do? Are you going to celebrate? How are you going to do it?’
“I was like, ‘I don’t know, I’ll probably explode.’”
The conversation was ultimately prophetic, because Farrell’s wait – five-plus professional seasons and 171 appearances all told – finally came to an end on Friday night when the 26-year-old right back scored the New England Revolution’s second goal in their 4-0 win over the Montreal Impact.
