After a less than ideal start to life in MLS, Frank Lampard now has eight goals in as many matches.
Frank Lampard could not hide his delight after becoming the first New York City player to score a hat trick in MLS.
Lampard etched his name into the history books after scoring three goals in New York City FC's 5-1 rout of the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
It has been a long and hard road for Lampard in New York, battling fitness and injury concerns, while attempting to win over fans in the Big Apple.
But the 38-year-old former England international seems to have finally gained the approval of fans after improving his tally to eight goals in eight games.
