DC United's Taylor Kemp takes home AT&T Goal of the Week with laser against Real Salt Lake

It was a game full of spectacular goals, but one stood above the rest.


D.C. United defender Taylor Kemp has taken home AT&T Goal of the Week honors thanks to his incredible half-volley against Real Salt Lake.

The Montreal Impact's Ignacio Piatti finished third, collecting 18.67 percent of the ballots while the New York Red Bulls' Bradley Wright-Phillips finished fourth. Kemp's teammate Nick DeLeon finished in fifth.
