Ex-Man City, Southampton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips breaking MLS scoring records with New York Red Bulls

Former Manchester City and Southampton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips has matched a MLS goalscoring record.

Wright-Phillips scored twice to equal the Major League Soccer season goal record as the New York Red Bulls beat Sporting Kansas City 2-0 in the league's regular-season finale on Sunday.

With his 26th and 27th goals, Wright-Phillips joined Chris Wondolowski (2012) and Roy Lassiter (1996) at the top of the list.

This puts him ahead of his rather more illustrious Red Bulls team-mate Thierry Henry, who scored 10 times last season.

Wright-Phillips' form has led to talk of a return to England in January.
