Vancouver Whitecaps Forward Kekuta Manneh Voted MLS Player Of The Week

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 May, 2016 10:54 AM
    Vancouver Whitecaps forward Kekuta Manneh has been voted Major League Soccer's player of the week.
     
     
    The 21-year-old scored twice and set up another goal in Vancouver's 4-3 victory at Toronto FC on Saturday.
     
    Manneh opened the scoring in the 12th minute after jumping on a Toronto turnover and slotting home his second goal of the season.
     
    After fooling a Toronto defender in the 70th minute, Manneh struck again to put the Whitecaps up 3-2 before feeding Pedro Morales for the eventual winner moments later.
     
    It was the third multi-goal game of Manneh's career.
     
    The Whitecaps visit the Portland Timbers on Sunday.
