    Jordan Morris etched his name in Seattle Sounders' history on Saturday, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer with his 87th goal in a thrilling 5-2 victory over LAFC at Lumen Field.

    The record-breaking goal came in the 77th minute when Morris collected a pass from fellow Seattle native Paul Rothrock and blasted it through the legs of LAFC goalkeeper Thomas Hasal - putting the Sounders up 3-1 in what would finish as a dominant win.

    “It means everything,” Morris told MLS Season Pass after the match. “I’ve talked about it for a long time. I thrive on scoring goals. That’s what I want to do and bring to the team."
