After a convincing win in the national spotlight after one of the club's biggest rivals, Philadelphia Union shot up the standings in this week's MLSSoccer.com Power Rankings.
The Boys in Blue find themselves at the No. 2 spot in the list after a 5-1 victory over D.C. United Sunday night, with Marco Fabián delivered his first MLS brace with two goals and an assist in the road win. The performance netted the Mexican international MLS Team of the Week honors along with teammate Alejandro Bedoya getting Player of the Week honors. The perfect gameplan that had the homeside on it's heels for the majority of the match also saw Jim Curtin get his league leading fourth Coach of the Week honor.
"They're one of three teams to have a .500 or better road mark in league play so far this season," Alicia Rodriguez writes in the article. "While there have been some wobbles, a few more emphatic wins would make them the lock favorites in the East."
