Finlay Goal, Crew Win

Ethan Finlay might not of dragged the Columbus Crew to a victory yesterday, but he did score the winning goal in the sucker... Justin Meram's sublime touch (his first of the match, I think) providing the assist. Finlay is in some sort of rare form for a Crew player. Five goals and two assists in less than 800 minutes is some rare territory that I'll have to figure with over the new few days.

In the meantime; Ethan Finlay. A player in full form (he is getting close to league tops in goals plus assists with over 450 minutes played). A rare thing here in Columbus. Soak it in.
