Bradley Wright-Phillips inspired the New York Red Bulls in MLS on Saturday, while Columbus Crew continued their fine start to the season.
Wright-Phillips scored a brace to see the Red Bulls to a 3-0 win over Minnesota United in New Jersey, with his manager arguing after the match that he could be the best scorer in MLS history .
Alex Muyl gave the home side a 15th-minute lead with a fine left-footed strike before the Red Bulls doubled their advantage prior to the break, Wright-Phillips poking in from close range.
The goalscorers combined for the sealer in the 78th minute, Muyl's wonderfully weighted pass putting in Wright-Phillips, who finished clinically.
