Eddie Johnson Wins MLS Player Of The Week

Stay connected for news and updates

Seattle Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson was voted the Player of the Week after scoring both goals in the Sounders' 2-1 win over Chivas USA at CenturyLink Field on Saturday.

Johnson's two goals give him 13 on the season, a new franchise record. Fellow forward Fredy Montero has scored 12 goals in a season twice, in 2009 and 2011.

This is Johnson's second MLS Player of the Week award. He previously won after the Sounders dropped the L.A. Galaxy, 4-0. Johnson scored one goal in that matchup. The high-scoring forward has won the award five times throughout his MLS career.

A panel of journalists from North America Soccer Reporters select the MLS Player of the Week each week of the regular season.

This is Johnson's reunion tour with the MLS after a brief stint with Fulham FC that saw him loaned to multiple teams during his three-year European career.
