New York City 1 New York Red Bulls 1: Villa earns a point for nine-man hosts

David Villa's equaliser was enough for the nine men of New York City to hold local rivals New York Red Bulls to a 1-1 draw in MLS.

New York City came from behind to draw 1-1 at home to New York Red Bulls in MLS on Wednesday, despite going down to nine men in the Hudson River derby.

David Villa cancelled out Bradley Wright-Phillips' opener at Yankee Stadium, where Eloi Amagat was sent off in the first half of his City debut.

Ebenezer Ofori followed his team-mate in making an early exit in the 72nd minute, but the hosts survived to earn a hard-fought point.
