New York City FC midfielder Frank Lampard was voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for the 21st week of the 2016 MLS season.
The midfielder made NYCFC history in Saturday’s 5-1 win over the Colorado Rapids at Yankee Stadium, scoring the first hat trick in Club history. Lampard now has eight goals and one assist on the season, all in the last eight games, with NYCFC compiling a 6-2-0 record over that period. NYCFC currently sits atop the Eastern Conference standings (36 points, 10-7-6), and is now riding a three-game home win streak after snapping Colorado's league-best 15-match unbeaten run.
