Major League Soccer (MLS) based Ghanaian forward Charles Sarpong powered Philadelphia Union to within one point of the summit of the table in a four goal thriller at home to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday.
The in form striker could not add to his four impressive goals in the opening eight matches of the season, but, proved crucial in a 2-2 stalemate at home to the expensively assembled Galaxy side.
Sarpong played in Keegan Rosenberry for Unions second strike in the blockbuster clash with a Stephen Gerrard inspired Galaxy side.
The former Sporting Kansas explosive forward registered 10 goals in 30 appearances last season but has already found the back of the net on four different occasions in the opening nine fixtures.
Philadelphia Union now trail Montreal Impact by just one point but could go top if they get the maximum points in their outstanding game.
Compatriot Emmanuel Boateng failed to come off the bench for LA Galaxy whiles Gyasi Zhardes lasted the full throttle for the visitors.
