There were multiple high-scoring matches during Week 31 which produced multiple candidates for Goal of the Week. Here are the top 10 MLS goals from Week 31.

Goals came in droves this week for a few clubs and it left us with plenty to choose from for Goal of the Week. With D.C. United trouncing Montreal, the New York Red Bulls overcoming Atlanta United and the Zlatan-led LA Galaxy smashing three past Vancouver, this was yet another brilliant week of MLS action.

And that makes it all the more interesting to count down the best goals of the weekend.

Ten through Seven

10. Mauro Manotas vs. San Jose Earthquakes

It was quite the week for Mauro Manotas. Mid-week he helped the Houston Dynamo capture their first-ever U.S. Open Cup and then on Saturday he set the club’s single-season scoring record with his 15th goal of the season. And what a goal it was.

9. Raul Ruidiaz vs. Colorado Rapids

The set up from Nicolas Lodeiro was what made this goal a special one. He records the assist with a heads-up play and Raul Ruidiaz finishes it for the Seattle Sounders.

8. Luciano Acosta vs. Montreal Impact

It was a dominant performance for D.C. United against the Montreal Impact in their 5-0 win. This goal from Luciano Acosta would start things off for the hosts.

7. Wayne Rooney vs. Montreal Impact

A mistake by Montreal is punished by Wayne Rooney who makes no mistake with this lob from distance.
