Larin netted twice in the first half and once more in the
second in his team's 5-2 win over a 10-man Red Bulls in New
York.
The 20-year-old Larin took his season tally to 14 goals,
surpassing the previous record of 11 set by Damani Ralph of the
Chicago Fire in 2003.
“I guess I like New York,” Larin told reporters. “Every time I
come here I feel good and things seem to open up for me. It felt
really good to break the record and score the hat-trick."
Orlando's victory kept alive the team's slim hopes of reaching
the playoffs as they moved to within a point of the sixth-place
Montreal Impact in the Eastern Conference, but having played
three more matches.
The Red Bulls finished the match a man down after Matt Miazga
was shown a second yellow card in the 77th minute but remain at
the top of the conference standings and already assured of a
spot in the postseason.
“You have nights like this, we’re not immune to it," New York
coach Jesse Marsch said.
“It’s a night where you feel like everything that can go wrong
does. I feel strongly that we’re a good team, but there’s going
to be nights where everything seems to go against you.”
