Tom Barlow

Analysis: Barlow came off the bench and capped the home side's scoring with a one-touch finish in stoppage time Saturday. The striker now has three goals across his last 52 minutes of league action and is averaging a goal every 115 minutes this season. Those numbers have strengthened his case as a valuable depth option capable of complementing or replacing starter Kevin Denkey when needed.

Scores brace

Barlow scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Analysis: Barlow came on at halftime in Saturday's 3-3 draw at Snapdragon Stadium and delivered the most impactful individual performance of the match, first converting Evander's precise corner in the second half to give his side a 2-1 lead, before equalizing in stoppage time at 3-3 after latching onto Ayoub Jabbari's pass and rifling a finish into the net to deny San Diego a win. The American forward operates as an aggressive, physical target striker off the bench who thrives on service into the box and has built a reputation for decisive late contributions in manager Pat Noonan's system. Barlow has now scored four goals across 14 MLS appearances this season.
