New York City FC 3, DC United 2: Lampard bewitches our hearts, Blues go top

"It’s what dreams are made of."

So said YES Network color man Ian Joy, after he managed to regain his breath.

Frank Lampard had just capped a two-goal performance with a sublime stop-and-pop finish to snatch the result in a 3-2 thriller against visiting DC United, who had leveled in the 91st minute.

The blockbuster win was NYCFC’s fifth straight at home, and sent the Blues back to the penthouse of the Eastern Conference with six games left to play in the regular season. For Lampard, it was his sixth goal in six games, and his eleventh in thirteen.
