Chicharito left red-faced after making LA Galaxy warning as Riqui Puig and co embarrassed

LAFC have progressed to the Western Conference finals after edging bitter rivals LA Galaxy, as Chicharito 's words have come back to haunt him.

The latest instalment of El Trafico was expected to be another classic, and it certainly didn't disappoint as a 94th minute strike from Cristian Arango secured a famous 3-2 win for LAFC. Galaxy fought back twice from behind to put pressure on the hosts, but there was no time remaining for another equaliser.

LAFC are now two wins away from securing their first ever MLS Cup title, but it was made easier for them as Galaxy's big-hitters were nowhere to be seen. Riqui Puig was lucky to avoid a red card after 11 minutes, and Chicharito was a bystander despite firing a warning to LAFC before kick-off.
