VANCOUVER, BC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC winger Alphonso Davies was named the MLS Player of the Week after tallying a goal and a club MLS record three assists in Saturday’s 5-2 victory over Orlando City SC, the league announced on Tuesday.
The Canadian international’s three assists were just one shy of the MLS single-match record. He now has a total of seven assists on the season, tied for third on the MLS leaderboard, in addition to his two goals.
Davies is the ninth player to record a goal and three assists in an MLS league match since 2010, and the youngest to do so at 17 years, seven months and seven days.
