Match

Los Angeles Football Club tear Real Salt Lake apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Real Salt Lake, and it could have been more.

Market

Terms done: Heung-Min Son is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Houston Dynamo waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Los Angeles Football Club is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Player ratings

Both of them Heung-Min Son's — 8.27

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.27, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Hugo Lloris

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

So close: Timothy Tillman’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. DC United moved on, Timothy Tillman reports back to Los Angeles Football Club, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 15 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at Los Angeles Football Club until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets

An offer of $650.0K for Justen Glad

Los Angeles Football Club have gone to Real Salt Lake with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Sergi Palencia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sergi Palencia commits to Los Angeles Football Club for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Denis Bouanga was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

In brief
