David Villa spectacular 53.5 Yard Goal
Legendary striker and MLS/MVP the New York City FC Captain David Villa made big impact with spectacular 53.5 Yard Goal.
Reigning MLS MVP David Villa scored one of the greatest goals of his long and storied career in New York City FC’s 2-0 win over Philadelphia Union on Friday night.
The 53.5 yard volley, the furthest-out a goal has been scored in MLS since data sets have been kept by ESPN, was scored in the 90th minute to clinch NYCFC’s first road win of 2017.
The Spanish national team’s record goalscorer has now scored four goals in six games in 2017 and NYCFC have a record of 3-2-1 for the season.
New York City FC Head Coach Patrick Vieira, told on press conference…“At first I did not know if the ball was inside or outside, so when I realized that the ball was in the back of the net, it was fantastic, it was a good finish, and I think it takes a special player to score a special goal.”
“I think it’s there with the best one. If you look at the period of the game where everyone is tired and has heavy legs, and to have the eye to see the goal forward and to execute the technical side of the volley was fantastic, and it’s good because that second goal was very important, and of course it was one of the best goals I have ever seen.”
New York City FC Midfielder Andrea Pirlo:
“It is one of the best goals that I have ever seen in my career. When David scored one goal like that, it’s incredible, because now it is the best in the history of the club.”
New York City FC Captain / Forward David Villa:
“The people is happy. Everybody told me congratulations. We are happy because the moment of the goal was good for the team. We wanted to win the game, we were 1-0, but in some situations the other team can score, and with this goal, the game was won.”
