LOS ANGELES (Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020) - LA Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week for the 10th week of the 2020 MLS season.
Lletget helped the Galaxy to a 3-0 victory over LAFC at Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday with a two-goal performance.

Lletget has now scored four goals and added two assists in his previous four matches. Sunday marked his 99th MLS start for the LA Galaxy.
Already holding a 1-0 lead over LAFC, Lletget doubled the Galaxy's advantage in the 73rd minute when he received a pass from Cristian Pavon directly off a free kick in the center of the box and finished with a right-footed one-time shot into the bottom right corner (watch goal). Lletget then gave the Galaxy a 3-0 lead in the 83rd minute when he finished a Rolf Feltscher cross in the center of the box with a tremendous scissor kick into the back right corner (watch goal).
