Afful named in MLS team of the week

Ghana defender Harrison Afful made the Major League Soccer Team of the Week after the final round of matches to end the regular season.

The Columbus Crew star was tormentor-in-chief as his side beat DC United to finish second on the Eastern Conference table.

Crew have now qualified for the MLS play-off stage.

Read on to find out who else made the Team of the Week, presented by EA SPORTS FIFA 16, for Week 34:

GK: Andre Blake (Philadelphia Union) – Came up with a couple of really big saves to keep the Union from falling behind or moving to even terms. He was also good in coming out to collect crosses in the Philadelphia’s 1-0 win.

D: Harrison Afful (Columbus Crew SC) – Lived in the D.C. third, whipping in cross after cross from the right flank to give United headaches all night long.

D: Damien Perrinelle (New York Red Bulls) – Made sure the Red Bulls took home the Shield with his eight clearances in New York’s victory at Chicago.

D: Kendall Waston (Vancouver Whitecaps) – Scored in the final game of the season for the second year in a row and added six clearances and four interceptions on the defensive end in the Whitecaps’ home win against Houston.

D: Chris Tierney (New England Revolution) – Was dangerous going forward all night in the Bronx, adding an assist to his season total, while playing solid defensively.
