Held scoreless heading into Saturday night’s meeting with the Philadelphia Union, Ethan Finlay made sure to break his drought in emphatic fashion.

The Columbus Crew winger provided a pair of goals and an assist, leading the way in a 4-1 rout of the Union to earn honors as SBI MLS Player of the Week.

After starting the game with an assist to a wide-open Kei Kamara, Finlay found himself on the board himself in the 32nd minute by timing his run and getting a foot to a Waylon Francis cross. Finlay showed off his wheels on his second goal, dusting the Union’s Fabinho and finishing first time to seal a dominant victory for the Crew.

Finlay beat out Toronto FC’s Jozy Altidore, Sporting KC’s Benny Feilhaber and the New England Revolution’s Juan Agudelo for this week’s honors.
