Not for the first time this season, Sean Johnson brought his A-game in Sunday night’s clash with New England.
Although it wasn’t enough to earn NYCFC at least a share of the points, it was yet another stellar showing from the goalkeeper and it was enough to earn him the NYCFC.com Man of the Match honors.
Following Jack Harrison’s sending-off on 26’, the Boys in Blue were forced to endure some serious pressure as one of the East’s strongest home sides knocked on the door.
Making a terrific save on the stroke of half-time, Johnson kept his team in the game until the breakthrough on 51’ which came via an unstoppable deflected strike from Diego Fagundez.
