"Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga's strike partnership entered record-breaking territory as Los Angeles FC beat St. Louis City 3-0 to keep their hopes of topping the Western Conference alive. Former Tottenham captain Son struck twice after Bouanga scored LAFC's opener at Energizer Park on Saturday, meaning the duo have now netted each of the team's last 17 goals between them."
"That run started in a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas in August and has continued through six games, with Son netting eight of LAFC's last 17 goals and Bouanga getting the other nine. Son has one hat-trick in that spell - in a 4-1 win at Real Salt Lake last week - while Bouanga has two trebles, one in another rout of RSL and another versus the San Jose Earthquakes."
