VANCOUVER, BC – This is what happens when you shut out the league-leaders.
Goalkeeper David Ousted and left back Jordan Harvey have been named to the MLS Team of the Week after leading Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a 3-0 win over FC Dallas on Saturday night.
Ousted made four fantastic saves, while Harvey scored a goal – his second of the season –and helped shut down FC Dallas leading goalscorer Michael Barrios.
