Who else but David Villa for the Spotlight treatment after his first MLS hat-trick?
El Guaje put our cross-river rivals to the sword on Sunday night to secure a first-ever Hudson River Derby series win for the Boys in Blue.
In the process of scoring his three goals which gave NYCFC a 3-2 win, Villa moved to the top of the Golden Boot race as he netted his 15th, 16th and 17th goals of the 2017 campaign.
David opened the scoring on 27’ in this eighth rendition of the derby, breaking through on goal before rounding Luis Robles and sliding home.
