Landon Donovan isn’t exactly looking behind him. But Major League Soccer’s all-time leading scorer expects his record to fall to the Earthquakes’ Chris Wondolowski.
Not this season. But soon.
San Jose’s captain got his 10th goal last weekend to join Donovan as the only players to have eight double-digit scoring seasons. Wondo, as teammates and fans call him, is the only player to do it eight years in a row.
“I’ve assumed he was going to break this for a long time,” Donovan said this week. “And I think he will.”
Wondolowski is 14 goals shy of the all-time mark of 145. But he’s only three goals behind No. 3 Jaime Moreno and four short of No. 2 Jeff Cunningham. With eight games left in 2017, the Danville native has a chance to move up the table before season’s end, starting Sunday in a California Clasico in Carson.
