Vanney wants Villa suspended for Toronto-New York second leg

Greg Vanney does not believe David Villa should be on the field when Toronto FC travel to the Bronx to face New York City FC on Sunday.

The Reds boast a 2-0 lead going into the second leg of their Eastern Conference semi-final and New York’s task could be made even more difficult if MLS decide to impose a retrospective sanction on Villa, who kicked out at Armando Cooper in the first half.

"I think there are instances in a game that regardless of who you are, when you make choices like that where a player's defenceless and you take a whack at him from behind, on any other day in any other league, I think that player sees a suspension," Vanney said, according to the Canadian Press.
