There’s a familiar name back atop the MLS goal-scoring leaderboard.
With a precise header Wednesday night, San Jose Earthquakes captain Chris Wondolowski moved ahead of a three other players to take sole possession of the league lead on five goals. That tally helped the Quakes clinch a 2-0 victory against the New York Red Bulls, bringing San Jose (3-1-2, 11pts) into a tie for third place in the West.
Wondolowski’s near-post run in the 55th minute put him in position to cash in on Shea Salinas’s pinpoint cross from the left wing.
