Thomas Muller was among the goalscorers as the Vancouver Whitecaps thrashed the San Jose Earthquakes 4-1 to edge closer to Major League Soccer's Western Conference crown on Sunday.

Former Germany and Bayern Munich star Muller steered home a 57th-minute strike from the edge of the penalty area to continue his rich vein of goalscoring since moving to MLS.
