Bradley Wright-Phillips continued blistering goal-scoring pace Sunday during the Hudson River derby.

After opening the scoring, the New York Red Bulls striker capped off a 4-1 triumph over New York City FC with a bit of trickery to bring his scoring tally to eight goals in six matches.

The 31-year-old out-ran his marker into the box before executing his version of the Cruyff turn on goalkeeper Josh Saunders and slotting home his side's fourth goal of the afternoon to send the crowd at Red Bull Arena into a frenzy.

Not to be outdone, NYCFC midfielder Thomas McNamara scored a golazo of his own when he unleashed a bullet into the top corner from about 30 yards out.

The victory gives the Red Bulls the season advantage over their city rivals, and puts the hosts just two points behind New York City FC in the Eastern Conference.
