In his first full season with the Red Bulls, BWP scored 27 goals, tying the MLS single-season record held by Roy Lassiter and Chris Wondolowski.
But after he broke the Red Bulls’ record with his 19th and 20th goals of the season in late August 2014, his teammate, the great Thierry Henry, talked about the chances he missed in the 4-2 win over Montreal.
“You could make an argument that he is the best player to ever play in this league and the best goal-scorer to ever play in this league,” said Marsch after the 3-1 win over Minnesota United on Saturday.
Marsch was speaking after he watched BWP score two golazos — a flying no-look volley and a crisp strike in stride off a pass from Alex Muyl — to give him three goals in three MLS games.
