Bradley Wright-Phillips makes goal history as New York Red Bulls trample San Jose Earthquakes

Bradley Wright-Phillips became the first player in MLS history to record three 20-goal seasons, bagging his 20th of this campaign in the 32nd minute of the New York Red Bulls' 3-1 victory over the Earthquakes in San Jose on Saturday night.

Wright-Phillips previously scored 27 goals in 2014 and 24 in 2016. His 2014 season had tied an MLS single-season scoring record that stood until Atlanta United's Josef Martinez broke it this year.

Alex Muyl also scored early for the Red Bulls, who remained within a point of Atlanta in the chase for the Supporters' Shield. Atlanta defeated New England 2-1 earlier Saturday.
