"On the day he turned 36, Muller scored two penalties before completing his hat-trick in the 88th minute, having also assisted Emmanuel Sabbi, who helped himself to a brace. Mathias Laborda and substitute Rayan Elloumi were also on target in the rout, as Philadelphia, who top MLS with 57 points, were handed a chastening defeat and Vancouver sealed their playoff spot."
""What I love about this team is, and you saw it in all three games I've played now, is that we're not stopping. We don't stop, even if we're up or down or if it's a draw, we don't stop. That's the message we want to send. "Firstly, to us internally, but also to the other teams. We won't stop until the last minute. That should be our mentality for the rest of the season and also for the future.""
