With his 31st goal of 2019, LAFC superstar Carlos Vela has tied Major League Soccer's record for most goals in a season, set by Josef Martinez last year.
Watch his stunning strike against the Loons, another beautiful left-footed curler:
Vela struck his historic goal in the 70th minute of Sunday's Week 30 clash at Minnesota United. The Mexican star will now attempt to break Josef's single-season mark when LAFC take on the Colorado Rapids at home on Decision Day, presented by AT&T.
Even before Sunday's efforts, Vela had set the league record for goals plus assists in a single season and now has 46 goals plus assists, in possibly the league's best ever single-season.
Prior to Martinez's landmark last season, the single-season goal record had stood for years, with Roy Lassiter's 27 goals in 1996 only being tied by Chris Wondolowski in 2012 then Bradley Wright-Phillips in 2014.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has 29 goals this season, chasing Vela for the Golden Boot presented by Audi as well as Martinez's record.
