NYCFC star David Villa shown red for preseason punch

There is still a month to go until opening day of the MLS season, but don’t tell that to David Villa. The passionate NYCFC star forward and reigning MLS MVP had an eventful evening on Saturday night. In a preseason friendly against the Houston Dynamo Villa scored a beautiful goal but was also shown a red card.

Playing with ten men for most of the match the Bronx Blues fell 1-3.

With the Dynamo up 2-1, Villa jockeyed for position prior to a corner kick.
