Jordan Morris set a new Major League Soccer rookie record with his fifth game-winning goal of the season in the Seattle Sounders’ 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday, and became just the fifth rookie in MLS history to score 10 goals or more in his first season in the league.
Morris pounced on a diving header in the 81st minute off a cross from Nicolas Lodeiro to grab the game-winner and give the Sounders three much-needed points in the push for the postseason.
Morris broke a tie with Orlando City striker Cyle Larin (2015) and Chicago Fire forward Damani Ralph (2003) to set the new mark for game-winning goals for a rookie.
