NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Surridge scored his 13th goal this season and added an ***** ist, Hany Mukhtar also had a goal and an ***** ist, and Nashville SC beat FC Cincinnati 4-0 on Saturday night for its fourth consecutive win.
Nashville (16-2-4) leads all of MLS with 52 points, the most in MLS history through the first 22 games of a season, and has one loss in its last 16 games dating to a 1-0 defeat at Chicago on April 4.

Lionel Messi missed yet another penalty and was booked as Inter Miami suffered a 4-1 loss at Nashville on Saturday in a top-of-the-table MLS clash.
England's Sam Surridge and Germany's Hany Mukhtar scored second-half goals for the hosts in a showdown between the Major League Soccer overall leaders.
Argentina and Miami captain Messi was denied from the penalty spot in the first half and issued a yellow card in the 59th minute but also ******* isted Inter's lone goal.
Messi struck both posts in second-half stoppage time.
Nashville leads MLS with 43 points and a record of 13-2 with four drawn while Inter Miami are second on 38 points.

Saturday's top-of-the-table clash in Nashville has been riveting so far. Nashville and Inter Miami came into the night separated by just two points at the top of the Supporters Shield standings.
And as it stands in the second-half, they are on pace to extend that lead to five after putting Leo Messi and his mates to the sword in front of a sold-out crowd.
But the best moment of the night so far certainly came just shy of the hour-mark when Nashville striker Sam Surridge put his side ahead with a stunning back-heel flick to beat Rocco Ríos Novo.
The Miami players were incensed, believing Messi had been fouled at the other end of the pitch before the goal, but the goal did stand after a check by the referee.

Nashville SC's second half surely wasn't its better half Aug. 1 during what turned out to be a 2-2 draw against D.C. United in Washington, D.C.
Blowing a two-goal lead, like NSC (12-4-2) did in this game, will draw those conclusions.
But Nashville SC coach B.J. Callaghan said he isn't ready to hit the panic ******* on and believes the team atop the Supporters' Shield standings hasn't lost it since the World Cup break.
"When you look at our last four games, we have two wins, a draw and a loss," he said. "We're constantly looking to improve and get better. That's what we'll continue to do as we move into the Leagues Cup."
As for the second half Aug. 1, during which goals by D.C. United's Silvan Hefti and Tai Baribo evened the score 2-2 after Sam Surridge's penalty kick and Shak Mohammed's goal in the first half. Callaghan said there was no excuse.
