Scottish forward Johnny Russell has made quite the splash since joining Sporting Kansas City as a high-profile acquisition in late January.
The 28-year-old opened his scoring account in a 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire on March 10, quickly endeared himself to supporters with a strong run of tireless performances throughout the spring and effectively stamped his name in MLS with a rampant hat-trick to spur a 6-0 thrashing of Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20.
And as the story goes, Russell's rise as a Kansas City fan favorite produced another entertaining chapter in Saturday's hotly contested 2-2 draw with Toronto FC at Children's Mercy Park.
