David Villa went bananas on Frank Lampard after Saturday's win. Here are 10 possible reasons why.

Guaje appeared to go straight hardbody karate on his fellow designated player.

When the whistle blew on Saturday to seal New York City FC's 3-2 win against Philadelphia, Frank Lampard just wanted a hug.

Dude, what gives? Frank actually acquitted himself quite well on the day, scoring NYCFC's opening goal and putting forth arguably the most comprehensive effort of his MLS tenure. It would follow, then, that Villa wasn't chewing out the fellow designated player for a flawed performance, right?

That does beg the question, though-- what was that whole thing about? It's not often that David Villa, the hardest-working man ever to wear the NYCFC shirt, produces such a pulsatingly emotional moment.
