Now that's how you celebrate a birthday.
On the same day he turned 28 years old, Scottish forward Johnny Russell delivered a sublime solo effort that ultimately sealed Sporting Kansas City's 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center.
Russell's moment of brilliance, coming in the 61st minute of Sunday's primetime showdown on FS1, makes him one of five AT&T MLS Goal of the Week nominees for Week 6. Fans can visit MLSsoccer.com to vote for Russell through Thursday morning at 2 a.m. CT.
The birthday boy's weaving run and finish gave Sporting KC a two-goal cushion after 21-year-old homegrown forward Daniel Salloi had opened his 2018 scoring account five minutes earlier.
