Josh Williams - Assists on return Williams provided one assist and played a full 90 minutes in his first start during a 3-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Williams provided an assist during his first full 90 on the pitch since returning from a quadriceps injury. The defender isn't generally much of a goal-scoring, or assist threat, and this is his first assist in the MLS since 2016. Williams will be a risky proposition at best against New England next time out.
