Union's Le Toux Wins MLS POW Award For Second Time

Philadelphia Union forward Sebastien Le Toux was named Major League Soccer's Player of the Week for Week 16 of the 2010 season and became the third person this season to win it twice, joining Los Angeles Galaxy forward Edson Buddle (Weeks 4 and 6), Toronto FC defender Dwayne De Rosario (Weeks 5 and 10) and Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio (Weeks 8 and 14).

Le Toux, who has seven goals this season for the expansion Union after coming over in the Expansion Draft by the Seattle Sounders, scored the lone goal in a 1-0 exhibition win Wednesday over Scotland's Celtic FC, then had a corner kick which led to the first goal in the 61st minute, and made a penalty kick in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time in a 2-1 league win Saturday against Toronto FC.
