Gareth Bale 's struggles at Los Angeles FC continued in midweek as he was hauled off in a draw against Minnesota United.
The Welsh international moved to the Major League Soccer side in June, after seven years with Real Madrid. He scored twice in his first four appearances to help the league leaders maintain their stranglehold on top spot in MLS's Western Conference, but results have since tailed off.
LAFC no longer hold top spot overall, after taking just four points from their last six games. They salvaged a point after Bale was withdrawn, but that only served to emphasise the gulf in results when Bale is and isn't on the pitch.
