Valentin Castellanos recorded his first-ever four-goal MLS performance to lift New York City FC to a 6-0 victory over visiting Real Salt Lake on Saturday afternoon.
The goals were the first four of the season for Castellanos.
Castellanos' second and third goals came from the penalty spot for defending MLS Cup champions NYCFC (2-3-1, 7 points), who snapped a two-match MLS losing streak.
