It seems like there’s a new contender for goal of the season every week in Major League Soccer.
New England Revolution players stunned this weekend, racking up three places on the list after a phenomenal 3-1 victory against Orlando. In the west, Real Salt Lake’s Pablo Ruiz impressed to propel his side to a 2-1 win over D.C. United.
With that being said, here are the best goals from the weekend…

Carles Gil put the finishing touches on the Revs’ win over Orlando City with this sublime and composed finish. He scored his seventh goal of the season as the Revs remain near the top of the Eastern Conference table.
He’s on his way to become an MVP once again.

The current Golden Boot leader cannot stop scoring. Mukhtar slipped in behind the St. Louis City defense and made no mistake aiming for the far bottom corner.

New England supporters will be ecstatic seeing their team on the list for a third time, while Orlando city fans will want to forget about the game entirely.

Is this a case of deja vu?
No, it’s just the second straight week that a halfway line goal has been scored in MLS. We thought that Lucas Zelarayan’s incredible strike had wrapped up the goal of the season vs. Chicago Fire, but Pablo Ruiz had something to say as he stunned the crowd in D.C.
