David Villa was voted the Alcatel MLS Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for the 16thweek of the 2017 MLS season.
It’s the third time Villa has taken the weekly honors and the first time since June 2015.
El Guaje takes the award thanks to his two-goal effort in NYCFC’s 2-1 comeback win over Seattle on Saturday – a tally which included his landmark 50th goal for the club.
The 50th came from the penalty spot and was the equalizer after David was fouled, while the game-winner was his 51st, a sublime volley from a Jack Harrison cross.
