"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Landon Donovan has played with the flair and enthusiasm of a player in his prime the last few weeks. Of course, he\u2019s supposedly past the peak of his career in his final season, but Donovan has always played best when he feels no burden.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having already broken the MLS regular-season goalscoring record in 2014, he also tied the regular-season assist record with three on Sunday night in a 4-0 win against the New York Red Bulls. Donovan now holds the record with Steve Ralston, as both assisted 135 goals in their MLS careers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;MLS POWER RANKINGS: Donovan's Galaxy keeps top spot&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before the match, he led MLS in assists this season, and now his single-season career-best 18 is four more than Portland's Diego Valeri has. Donovan also scored on Sunday, giving him a role in each of LA\u2019s four goals.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One record that Donovan probably wouldn\u2019t mind breaking: most MLS Cups won by a single player. Currently, he\u2019s tied with Jeff Agoos and Brian Mullan on five titles, but if LA continues its upward trajectory, Donovan could be on the way to No. 6 in his swan-song season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;WAHL: Are Galaxy primed for best-ever MLS season?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donovan is joined by 10 others on this week\u2019s MLS Best XI:\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2 class=\"p1\"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Planet F\u00FAtbol MLS Best XI \u2014 Week 29&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Jeff Attinella (Real Salt Lake)&lt;/b&gt;: RSL may have lost, 2-1, to Vancouver, but it wasn\u2019t because of Attinella. He made seven saves, including a Pedro Morales penalty, before Morales scored on his second attempt from the spot and on a cheeky deflection from inside the six-yard box.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Nick Hagglund (Toronto FC)&lt;/b&gt;: After a poor giveaway that led to Portland\u2019s first goal, Hagglund battled back to score twice in Toronto\u2019s 3-2 win over the Timbers. His short memory and ability to bounce back directly affected the result, bringing TFC back from a 2-0 early deficit.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Nat Borchers (Real Salt Lake)&lt;/b&gt;: Borchers scored RSL\u2019s only goal against Vancouver. Defensively, he led the team with five tackles and also made four interceptions.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Steve Birnbaum (D.C. United)&lt;/b&gt;: In a win by the slimmest margin over Philadelphia, Birnbaum anchored D.C.\u2019s back line with 15 clearances. He also had the second-highest passing percentage in the match among starters, with 86 percent of his 36 attempts finding a teammate.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew)&lt;/b&gt;: Trapp completed 90 percent of his passes in a 2-0 win over Montreal, working in tandem with Federico Higua\u00EDn to dictate play for the Crew. Trapp assisted the game-winning goal, threading a through ball beyond the defense in just the second minute to Ethan Finlay.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Michael Bradley (Toronto FC)&lt;/b&gt;: Besides his game-winning goal in the 89th minute, Bradley also created three goalscoring opportunities and completed 86 percent of his passes. He varied long and short passes to great effect to unlock the Portland defense.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;WATCH: Bradley one of three USMNT stars with game-winning Week 29 goals&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Pedro Morales (Vancouver Whitecaps)&lt;/b&gt;: After missing his first penalty attempt against Real Salt Lake, Morales stepped up again on the second his team won and put it away. Then, he scored a goal from the run of play to cap Vancouver\u2019s vital win, which put the Whitecaps back in a playoff spot.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 David Texeira (FC Dallas)&lt;/b&gt;: Texeira scored twice in Dallas\u2019 3-1 win over the Sounders in midweek. He hadn\u2019t started a match since May, but when he had his opportunity Wednesday, he took full advantage.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy)&lt;/b&gt;: Donovan scored a goal and assisted the other three in the Galaxy\u2019s 4-0 win over New York. His final season in MLS marches on toward a storybook ending, as both he and the team around him are getting hot as the playoffs draw ever closer.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Obafemi Martins (Seattle Sounders)&lt;/b&gt;: Martins scored twice and added an assist as Seattle defeated Chivas, 4-2. His 14th and 15th goals of the season broke Seattle\u2019s single-season franchise record.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;\u2022 Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy)&lt;/b&gt;: Keane scored the first and final goals in the Galaxy's big win over New York. The first was another sublime effort that Keane has come to be known for, calmly rounding a defender before chipping a ball over the goalkeeper and inside the far post.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
