Ghana international Jonathan Mensah returned to his blistering form to street Columbus Crew into a vital 3-0 win over Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer. The former Anzhi Machaschala centre back atoned for his generous form in recent games with an outstanding display to haul Crew into the third slot in the Eastern Conference.

The FIFA Under 20 world cup winning defender recently endured an indifferent start to the season but halted his personal poor form with a classy display at the back to power his past into the three contested points.

Goals from Justin Meram, Ola Kamara and Federico Higuain sunk Seattle in the MLS. Compatriot Harrison Afful came on in the final 20 minutes for Hector Jimenez , who has been very impressive in recent games. Columbus Crew are up to third place on the log after the 3-0 mauling.
