LAFC won the Los Angeles bragging rights on Sunday night as they claimed the first El Trafico of the season 3-2, and captain Carlos Vela sent a damning message after the final whistle.
LA Galaxy's woes continued on Sunday as they lost their third-straight El Trafico derby against rivals LAFC, with the two sides continuing their contrasting form. Vela was the star of the show as he scored twice and assisted Ryan Hollingshead for LAFC's third, and rubbed it in at full-time.
LAFC have established dominance in the derby after only previously being able to beat LA Galaxy twice in their history. And Vela is confident that their success could become a regular pattern moving forward.
