MLS highlights: LAFC humiliate Vancouver, Chicago defeat Houston

The game against Vancouver Whitecaps FC was arguably Los Angeles FC's best performance in the competition in the MLS regular season. Dejan Jakovic opened the scoring within two minutes of the game, followed by a brace from Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Moreover, Uruguayan midfielder Diego Rossi also scored once. Interestingly, Vancouver were to blame more than Los Angeles FC's splendid performance, as they also conceded own goals twice. Los Angeles FC now move up the fifth spot in the MLS regular season's Western Conference. 

Chicago have had a dismal campaign this season, occupying the 12th spot in the MLS regular season. However, their past performance in the MLS regular season, in no way proved a deterrent in their sensational display against Houston Dynamo. Robert Beric, Fabian Herbers, Alvaro Medran and CJ Sapond scored once each to move up the 12th spot, ahead of Inter Miami and DC United.
