Carles Gil picked up two more assists this past weekend and another MLS Team of the Week nod on Monday afternoon.

Gil provided the helpers on Brandon Bye's 84th-minute equalizer and Adam Buksa's 91st-minute winner as the Revs claimed a dramatic, come-from-behind, 3-2 win over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night. It was Gil's fourth multi-assist game of the season and his second in the past three games.

The Revolution captain leads MLS with 15 assists, more than twice as many as anyone else in the league. He's on pace to shatter the Revolution single-season record for assists (19, set by Steve Ralston in 2002) and also beat the MLS single-season mark (26, set by Carlos Valderrama in 2000). Officially at the halfway mark of the schedule, Gil is currently on pace for 30 assists.

Buksa, whose dramatic winner was his eighth goal of the season, earned a place on the Team of the Week bench.
