Four shots in Wednesday's win
Longstaff generated four shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Columbus Crew. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.
Analysis: Longstaff tied a season high with four shots in Wednesday's victory, also setting a season high with two shots on target. All three of his outings with four shots have come in the last nine matches. However, following a streak of 10 matches of creating at least one chance, Longstaff has now failed to create a chance in each of his last two matches and has gone eight straight matches without a goal contribution. While his underlying production remains good, that hasn't been translating to goal contributions as of late.
Brace of assists in win
Longstaff assisted twice to go with four shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Portland Timbers. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 81st minute.
Analysis: Longstaff turned in his biggest offensive performance of the campaign, setting new season highs in both shots and chances created with four and five respectively, two of which were converted to earn him a pair of assists. It caps a strong recent run for the midfielder, who has now chipped in with two goals and three assists from nine shots and 11 chances created across his last five outings.
