Carles Gil joins elite club with New England Revolution masterclass | OneFootball

By Dylan Butler

Carles Gil put on a clinic to lead the New England Revolution to a 3-1 win at the Columbus Crew on Sunday. 

In the process, the 2021 Landon Donovan MLS MVP and five-time MLS All-Star placed himself in some rarefied air.

With a 1g/2a performance, the Revs' captain increased his career total to 152 goal contributions (57g/95a), making him the 20th player in MLS history to reach 150-plus goal contributions.

Gil, who joined New England in 2019, picked up an assist on Matt Polster's 32nd-minute equalizer that canceled out Brais Méndez's opening goal for Columbus. 

The Spanish playmaker then slipped a ball in for Dor Turgeman to increase the Revs' lead to 2-1 just before halftime. 

Gil put the icing on the cake with a clipped golazo in the 79th minute, his eighth goal of the season.

Club 150

Gil is tied for 17th on the list of players with 150-plus goal contributions, joining Josef Martínez (Columbus Crew) and Albert Rusnák (Seattle Sounders FC). 

Gil will look to continue to move up the list when the Revolution visit the LA Galaxy on Saturday in Matchday 24 (9:30 pm ET | Apple TV).
