Ethan Finlay (Marshfield) came up with another big goal for the Columbus Crew.

Finlay first-timed a cross from Hector Jimenez in the 78th minute, sparking a late comeback as the Crew scored three times in 5 minutes to stun the Philadelphia Union 3-2 in a Major League Soccer match Saturday. (Watch the goal below)

Finlay's strike was followed by goals in the 79th and 82nd minutes as Columbus moved to within a point of clinching a playoff berth with two matches left in the regular season. He's scored in three straight games and has 10 goals on the season – that is tied for 16th in MLS.

"We're pretty disappointed with the two goals we gave up," said Finlay, who is the first American-born player to reach double figures in goals for the Crew since 2004. "I think it shows our resilience, to be able to battle back and stick to our system and still play the style of soccer that we want to play. We were rewarded with that."
