Teen Phenom Cavan Sullivan Shines | MLS News

Sixteen-year-old phenom Cavan Sullivan just scored the goal of his young career — a dazzling solo effort that sealed Philly’s 3-1 win over Red Bull New York. It’s his fourth straight game with a goal contribution, a first for any 16-year-old in MLS history, and now he’s tied with Freddy Adu for most goal contributions by a player his age or younger in a single season — with twelve games left, he’s poised to break the record. His coach raves about his one-on-one brilliance and freedom to create, while his imminent move to Manchester City adds even more hype. The Union’s young stars shone again — including 18-year-old center back Neil Pierre — as the team stays alive in the playoff race under interim manager Ryan Richter’s undefeated streak. And though whispers of a U.S. national team call-up swirl, Sullivan keeps his eyes on the present, channeling Alphonso Davies’ early rise — and proving he’s just getting started.
