There were multiple impressive individual efforts this weekend in Major League Soccer as a total of 44 goals were scored over the course of the week.
Here are the top goals from MLS week 11.
Justin Meram (Columbus Crew)
It was a stellar performance from Meram on Saturday as the longtime Crew midfielder recorded his first ever hat-trick in the MLS. This well-placed finish would be his first of the match as the Crew would go on to win 3-2 thanks to Meram’s contribution.
Give @JustinMeram a chance & he'll bury it. 1-0. #MTLvCLB https://t.co/JDNXnDTkhT

Kaka (Orlando City)
The control and finish by Kaka are world class. Since returning from injury, the Brazilian has scored in three of his last four appearances.
The chest control AND the finish.

Romain Alessandrini (LA Galaxy)
Whether he meant to do this or not, Alessandrini curls in this low driven free-kick to score the first of two goals he produced in the Galaxy’s 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls.
The Winner is….
Herbers gets the goal of the week honors this week. His pinpoint first time hit was a thing of beauty and is deserving of the accolade.
