Whitecaps' Manneh named Player of the Week after electrifying performances

Kekuta Manneh led the Vancouver Whitecaps offensively in the club's last two matches, scoring or assisting in five of the team's six goals en route to a pair of wins in Week 11. For his efforts, the 21-year-old was rewarded with an MLS Player of the Week nod.

The winger scored a pair and provided the game-winning assist in a massive 4-3 win of Toronto FC on Saturday. He also contributed earlier in the week with an assist on a tremendous acrobatic game-winner by Blas Perez over the Chicago Fire.

Manneh's quick read of Toronto's back line allowed him to pounce on a pair of chances as they developed from mistakes in possession. His team will hope he stays just as sharp Sunday as the Whitecaps prepare for a rivalry match against the Portland Timbers.
