Giovani dos Santos, Sebastian Giovinco, and David Villa are amongst the MLS players who make the list for the top 10 goal scorers in the 2016 regular season.
The top 10 goal scorers of the 2016 MLS season have been ranked according to the number of goals they have scored in the regular season (34 games, no Playoffs). In the case of a tie, the player with the higher number of assists is given the spot.
Goals per match serves as the third and final tie-breaker, when needed. Here are the top 10 goal scorers of the season, beginning with:
10. Cyle Larin (Orlando City SC) – 14 goals
It was always going to be difficult to follow up a incredible record-setting rookie season, but Orlando City SC forward Cyle Larin managed to continue his goal scoring ways in 2016 by racking up 14 goals in 29 appearances at a rate of 0.51 goals per game.
The 21-year-old Brampton native was a rare bright spot in an Orlando City side that was good going forward, but struggled at the back, ending the campaign sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference. He won the game for his club on two occasions and also has three assists to his name.
