Chance creator Johnny Russell rolls to MLS Team of the Week honors

Captain Johnny Russell delivered a vintage performance in his 100th competitive appearance for Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night.

The Scottish winger may not have found the back of the net in a dramatic 2-1 victory over expansion side Austin FC, but Russell was at the heart of Sporting's ceaseless attack in a game that the hosts controlled throughout.

In addition to assisting Ilie Sanchez's game-tying goal in the 82nd minute, Russell set a Sporting record during the Opta era with eight chances created. No other player has created more chances in a game this season.
