The Spanish striker scored a pair of goals to help his side shake off a first-half deficit and beat the Seattle Sounders on Saturday.
David Villa's first goal may have been a gift, but his second was pure magic, providing the ideal cap to a milestone day for the Spanish star.
Villa surpassed the 50-goal mark in MLS on Saturday, converting a questionably-awarded penalty kick before delivering a back-post volley winner in the 75th minute of NYCFC's 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders.
It was another trademark performance from Villa, who has become Major League Soccer's poster boy for designated players.
