The away side were ruthless in front of goal to pick up the win and continue their amazing away record, which currently stands at 6 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie in 10 games – a league best record.
Mauro Biello rang in the changes as seven different players took to the pitch in comparison to the team that drew 1-1 at the Portland Timbers, with Ignacio Piatti missing out courtesy a one-match suspension and Laurent Ciman also not making it to the match-day squad.
They lined-up in a 4-4-2 formation which was also starkly different from the previous match’s 4-3-3 setup, although it didn’t work out against NYCFC’s midfield trio and a man-of-the-match display from David Villa.
