HARRISON, NJ (October 26, 2014) - Forward Bradley Wright-Phillips tied the MLS all-time single-season goals record today, scoring his league leading 26th and 27th goals of the season against Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park in the Red Bulls' regular season finale (live now on ESPN2) tonight.

Wright-Phillips matched the mark set by Roy Lassiter (1996) and Chris Wondolowski (2012). In the 15th minute, Wright-Phillips put home a deflected Eric Alexander pass to give New York a 1-0 advantage. Then in the 70th minute, Wright-Phillips won the ball in Sporting KC's half, juked into the box and slotted it home.
