BWP 100

One hundred goals.


Bradley Wright-Phillips scored career goal No. 100 for the New York Red Bulls against Toronto FC in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.


The proficient British goal scorer hit the century mark after notching his 99th in the Knockout Round playoff matchup against Chicago Fire.


BWP has scored 86 regular season MLS goals, nine MLS playoff goals, four goals in the U.S. Open Cup and once in the CONCACAF Champions League.


With 17 goals in the regular season, Wright-Phillips is just the second player in MLS history to record 15-plus goals in four consecutive seasons, joining Robbie Keane. With 24 goals last season and a second MLS Golden Boot, BWP put himself in a few elite categories.


Per Elias, 18 players have scored 20 or more goals in an MLS season. BWP and David Villa are the only two players in league history to do so twice in their MLS career. Only three other players in league history have scored 15+ goals in three or more consecutive seasons. BWP had 27 goals in 2014 and 17 in 2015.


Wright-Phillips is one of the best goal scorers during the run of play in MLS as he owns a 0.63 goals per 90 without penalty kicks. He tops Taylor Twellman (0.59), Robbie Keane (0.57), Sebastian Giovinco (0.58) and David Villa (0.53).


He set new franchise records for career goals in MLS and across all competitions last season. He passed Juan Pablo Angel’s mark across all competitions in one less game and 776 fewer minutes played.


In 2016, BWP set new franchise records for career multi-goal games (16), game-winning goals (20) and hat tricks (4).


This season, BWP is the only goal scorer among the top 10 who has scored all 17 goals during the run of play, while the rest of the top 10 has recorded at least one penalty kick to their totals.


Wright-Phillips stands third among active MLS players, behind Chris Wondolowski (133) and Kei Kamara (98), who are tied for third and 10th all-time, respectively in regular season goals.
