Cunningham claims lead in MLS Golden Boot race


Former USF star, Jeff Cunningham, continues his good form of late with the only goal in a 1-0 win against the New England Revolution on Wednesday night. The FC Dallas striker now has sixteen goals on the season and is now one goal ahead of Conor Casey of the Rapids for the MLS scoring lead. Cunningham's goal came in the seventy-first minute of play and secured a valuable three points for his club.

Cunningham's form has coincided with FC Dallas making a late run at a playoff spot. Dallas has won three of its last four games and is just four points out of a playoff spot with three games to play.

The goal on Wednesday brings Cunningham to 120 goals on his MLS career, just ten back of all time MLS goal leader Jaime Moreno of DC United.

BTW, Jeff was the winner of the most recent MLS Goal of the Week for his effort last week against Real Salt Lake.

***UPDATE*** MLS named Jeff Cunningham the Player of the Month based on his seven goals during the month and inspiring FC Dallas' late season good form.
