Johnny Russell reaches double-digits in goals and assists to join exclusive club

On the same day Sporting Kansas City set club records for most goals and away goals in a regular season, newcomer Johnny Russell entered rarefied air of his own.

The Scottish international continued his brilliant debut campaign in MLS on Sunday, firing home the final goal in a resounding 3-0 victory over FC Dallas that saw Sporting KC leapfrog their opponents for first place in the Western Conference.

In doing so, Russell became just the fourth player in Sporting KC history to record double-digit goals and assists in the same regular season. The 28-year-old joins the exclusive club alongside former greats Preki, Josh Wolff and Benny Feilhaber.
