Continues attacking surge Sullivan had five shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Sullivan was Philadelphia's most threatening individual in Saturday's 1-0 win over Seattle, registering five shots (one on target), two crosses (one accurate) and three interceptions across his 90 minutes as the player who combined defensive contribution with the most attacking volume on the pitch for the Union. The midfielder has now attempted 16 shots across his last five MLS appearances, establishing himself as one of the most active shooting threats in the Eastern Conference from a wide position, and his combination of defensive work rate and forward runs heading into the Atlanta United fixture next Saturday gives interim head coach Ryan Richter a reliable and multifaceted option in his starting lineup.
