After Cucho Hernández was introduced as the Columbus Crew’s record-signing striker, the narrative of the transfer window quickly shifted away from the former Watford forward to LAFC signing Gareth Bale and D.C. United returning Wayne Rooney as a head coach. Since debuting Saturday against the Chicago Fire, Hernández has been hard to ignore and on Thursday received the rare distinction of earning his second MLS Team of the Week award in the span of four days.
After a match-winning goal against the Fire, MLS put Hernández on the bench for the Team of the Week, playing a hair over 30 minutes in his debut.
