Puig posted three assists in the 4-1 Galaxy win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. He’s the first Galaxy player with three assists in an MLS game since Landon Donovan in 2014 .

Both players, of course, are midseason additions and they’ve honestly really elevated LA since arriving. Long may it continue! The Galaxy are in the thick of the playoff race and control their own destiny at present, and hopefully Riqui and Gaston can continue to perform. Congrats to them.
