Carlos Vela once again named MLS Player of the Week
Los Angeles FC's captain once again led his team to two victories during MLS week 18, earning him the POTW award.
Carlos Vela is having a hell of a year, scoring every chance he gets to establish himself as the leader of the goals and assists tables, with 19 and 12 respectively.
His quality and leadership have helped make Los Angeles FC the best team so far in the MLS season, with the rest of the teams chasing behind, especially cross-town rivals LA Galaxy.
LAFC earned two victories in MLS week 18, defeating Sporting Kansas City 5-1 and Vancouver Whitecaps 6-1, with captain Vela proving the most important man on the field with three goals and two assists.
On another level. 📈
