There was a lot for Patrick Vieira to like about New York City FC’s 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium Friday night, including David Villa’s stunning volley in the 90th minute to secure all three points.
“I think he’s David. The goal that he scored showed all his talent,” Vieira said in the post-match press conference “It’s one of the best goals in the league so far. It’s good for us because that gives us the three points. It was an important goal and an unbelievable goal.”
Vieira said he wasn’t frustrated at the lack of chances in a scoreless first half because the Union exerted a lot of energy defending NYCFC.
