Bradley Wright-Phillips became the fastest man to reach 100 goals in the MLS on Wednesday evening when he notched the only goal in New York Red Bulls’ slim win over Wayne Rooney’s DC United at Audi Field.
In just his 159th appearance for Red Bulls, Wright-Phillips took less than two minutes to find the net and bring up his century – celebrating by removing his No.99 jersey to reveal a more apt squad number underneath…
The former Plymouth, Charlton and Southampton forward is now joint-tenth on the MLS all-time goalscorer list, just 45 goals behind Landon Donovan at the summit.
If the 33-year-old maintains his blistering ratio, there’s every chance he could be top of the tree by this time next year.
