Bradley Wright-Phillips’s goal-scoring has been one of the few constants in the last five years of expansion and evolution in MLS. On Oct. 5, with two goals against the San Jose Earthquakes, Wright-Phillips became the first person in league history to compile three separate 20-goal seasons in MLS.
But that was also the last competitive game he has scored in, as Wright-Phillips is currently without a goal in 10 straight league, playoff and Champions League matches, following New York’s second leg collapse against Santos Laguna on Tuesday – which was coincidentally his birthday.
By now, it is well-documented how Wright-Phillips stands out from other prolific goal-scorers around the league and world.
