Bradley Wright-Phillips became the fastest player to score 100 MLS goals as New York Red Bulls moved within three points of Eastern Conference leaders Atlanta United thanks to a 1-0 win at DC United.
Wright-Phillips broke the record in his 159th MLS match, surpassing the record of 174 set by former New England Revolution striker and United States international Taylor Twellman.
The 33-year-old, who moved to New York in 2013, raced onto a pass in-behind DC's defence inside two minutes and fired the ball under David Ouste at Audi Field on Wednesday.
Former Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney came off the bench in the 57th minute for DC, but the hosts were unable to find an equaliser as they remained bottom of the east.

Former Nantes striker Alejandro Bedoya levelled for Philadelphia past the half-hour mark before goals from Cory Burke and a late penalty from Fabrice Picault in the second half, downed the Dynamo.
