📊 LAFC duo set new MLS record in dominant performance vs St. Louis | OneFootball

There is no better attacking duo anywhere in MLS than the dynamic partnership that exists at BMO Stadium in SoCal.

Since arriving in the City of Angels, South Korean legend Son Heung-min has taken like a fish to water, quickly adapting to life in the Black and Gold of LAFC alongside Gabonese ace Denis Bouanga.

And the pair show no signs of slowing down as the MLS Cup Playoffs come into view just over the horizon.

After Bouanga continued his form in front of goal amid his push for Golden Boot honors to open the scoring on the road in St. Louis, Sonny got in on the act not once, but twice, to put Steve Cherundolo's men three-nil up with 30 minutes left to play.

With that, the forward pair combined for all 17 of LAFC's goals across their last six outings, becoming the first duo to achieve that feat in league history during a regular season.

It is still early days by comparison to other partnerships, but have we seen a better one in MLS history?
