Los Angeles FC striker Carlos Vela broke the MLS record for most goals scored in a single season on Sunday.
The former Arsenal man netted a hat-trick for his side against Colorado Rapids to ensure he has now grabbed a remarkable 34 goals this season - surpassing Josef Martinez's former MLS record.
The 30-year-old, who continues to vie with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the league's most potent attacker, began the match level with Orlando City's Martinez, who registered 31 goals to win the MLS Golden Boot last term.
However, the Mexican broke the record in the 28th minute before adding a second just two minutes later.
He then added to his tally in the second half, netting his hat-trick goal in the 51st minute to wrap up a 3-1 victory over Colorado at the Banc of California Stadium.
Los Angeles have secured their spot in the Final series after finishing a massive 16 points ahead of Seattle Sounders at the top of the Western Conference.
It has been a fine season so far for Vela's side, who lifted their first major trophy last month by winning the Supporters' Shield.

Zlatan will probably still brag about being bigger than the entire MLS... I just hate when a player is so Proud over nothing... that's is why forever I'll love players like: David Silver (Man City), Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Raphael Varan (Real Madrid), Gana Gueye (PSG), Bosquet (Barça), who are of GREAT VALUE to their clubs but nothing is said of them as often as it should.... yet they are very humble....! Check the list... you'll see what I mean

he has the right to Brag, he is 38 and Vela is 30. And he is still doing better than Salah and Firmino
Doing better now in a league that even my son at under 12 in Russia can.

Atleast he's scoring somewhere. Not a keyboard warrior, sitting at home doing nothing but shouting at others.
