Sporting Kansas City's 5-1 mauling of the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday certainly qualified as an offensive explosion, but it wasn't an aberration.
The 2018 MLS campaign has seen a balanced Sporting KC attack piece together one of the best scoring seasons in club history. Goals have flowed in steady bunches, and from numerous sources, both at Children's Mercy Park and away from home.
From a goals per game perspective, Sporting KC is currently enjoying its most prolific season ever. With 54 goals through 28 matches, the club is averaging an all-time best 1.93 goals per game.
