In Major League Soccer, Obafemi Martins netted a brace and created an assist  to help Seattle Sounders defeat New York City FC 3 - 1 at Yankee Stadium.

Following his pair of goals on Sunday night, the former Nigeria international has now scored 7 braces since his arrival in the United Stated from Levante in 2013.

Martins has hailed the partnership he has formed with Clint Dempsey, saying they perfect their strategies at training.

“I think it’s just automatic, really. It’s what we do in training,” Martins said according to mlssoccer.com.

“For us, we just need the ball so we can do something different with it. We did tonight.

“ I’m glad that I scored and he scored too. As a team we did very well.”

Obafemi Martins has started and completed each of the 7 games he has been involved in this term, scoring 6 goals.
