This goal is nice to avoid the goose egg on the year but does little to make up for what has been an awful season by all counts for Shelton.

Impact Shelton returned to the pitch Sunday after missing three games with a calf injury, but the form of new signing William Agada (five goals and an assist in his last three appearances) is likely to keep Shelton on the bench even once he's fully fit.

Impact Shelton remains questionable for Sunday's clash though he has been listed as questionable for well over a month.

Shelton will hope for a second-half bounce back to keep this form going against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Back in training with team Shelton (hamstring) returned to training with Kansas City this week, according to club reporter Aly Trost.

Takes shot in draw Shelton took a shot on target and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Crew.

Impact Shelton wasn't very effective against Columbus on Saturday, and he really hasn't been very good at all this season thus far. It was always going to be tough to replace Alan Pulido -- who's out for the season with a knee injury but has tallied 15 goals and seven assists in his previous two campaigns in Kansas City -- but Shelton has just six shots (one on target) in seven MLS appearances (six starts). It might not be long before on-loan striker Nikola Vujnovic gets his chance in the starting lineup.
