Bradley Wright-Phillips uses two-shirt celebration after 100th MLS goal

Wednesday night was a special one for New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips, and he pulled out a nifty celebration to match the occasion.

Sitting on 99 MLS goals heading into the trip to D.C. United and their brand-new stadium, Audi Field, the RBNY legend was hungry to become the fastest player in Major League Soccer history to score a century of goals.

It took him less than two minutes on a rainy night to make history.

It was a classic striker's goal: racing onto a long pass from Kaku down the left flank, Wright-Phillips beat Frederic Brillant to the ball, cut back onto his right foot and fired off a cheeky shot that crept inside David Ousted's near post.

But the best part then followed, as Wright-Phillips ripped off his No. 99 shirt to unveil a second shirt underneath -- No. 100, of course.

BWP needed just 159 games to score 100, smashing the previous record held by none other than Taylor Twellman (174 games). He's also tied for 10th all-time but has a long way to go to reach Landon Donovan's mark of 145 goals.

And despite the landmark moment, he was still booked for taking off his shirt.
