New York are arguably the best team in MLS at the moment. Winners of four straight, including three on the road. Their last game was a 3-1 statement victory against Atlanta United, in which they turned in a strong second-half performance to win three huge points.
Ryan Meara stepped in place of captain Luis Robles and kept New York in the game. Two second-half headed goals by Bradley Wright-Phillips catapulted his side into victory. The 33-year-old is currently tied for the league lead in goals with eight, alongside Josef Martinez of Atlanta and Gyasi Zardes of Columbus.
