Columbus Crew forward Kei Kamara cannot stop scoring.

The leading scorer in Major League Soccer took no time at all to find the back of the net as his side took on the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park. The first was a tap-in header in the 21st minute and the second was a tap-in shot five minutes later.

Ghanaian full-back Harrison Afful provided both assists with similar crosses into the box from out wide on the right.

The two goals bring Kamara's tally to a league-leading 20, eight away from a new MLS single-season record.

His brace also gives Kamara three more goals than Toronto FC forward Sebastian Giovinco, who sits second in the scoring charts in MLS. It appears Kamara's running away with the race for the MLS Golden Boot.
