Carles Gil put on a clinic to lead the New England Revolution to a 3-1 win over Columbus Crew at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.
And in the process, the former Landon Donovan MLS MVP placed himself in some rarefied air on Sunday.
With his 1g/2a, 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 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.
