Dallas' Cooper MLS Player of the Week

FRISCO, Texas, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- FC Dallas forward Kenny Cooper Monday became only the second player this season to win back-to-back MLS Player of the Week awards.

Cooper scored both goals in Dallas' 2-0 win at Toronto FC Sunday, extending the team's undefeated streak to five matches. Dallas (6-6-7) is two points behind first-place Real Salt Lake and one point behind second-place Houston in the Western Conference.

Cooper's penalty kick goal in the 81st minute of Sunday's game broke a 0-0 tie and stood up as the game winner. He also scored for Dallas with a long-range goal in the second minute of added time.

Cooper was named MLS Player of the Week last week when he scored twice in FCD's 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy, becoming the first player to win the award unanimously this year.

With two goals Sunday, Cooper set a new personal high with 13 goals this season.
