| The sequence begins with Pirlo in a familiar deep-lying role slotting a pass to Kwadwo Poku, who finds David Villa at the top of the area. The Spaniard takes two dribbles to his right then uncorks a right-footed shot that deflects off an Orlando player into the net. His 12th goal of the year and New York City FC is back on top. | The sequence begins with Pirlo in a familiar deep-lying role slotting a pass to Kwadwo Poku, who finds David Villa at the top of the area.

A long ball from Angelino is played into David Villa, who tames with ease, takes one touch then blasts it into the goal. Goalkeeper Tally Hall hardly even moved. It’s the Spaniard’s 11th goal of the season, which leaves him two behind league leader Kei Kamara. | And out of nothing New York City FC is on top thanks to a wonderful goal from their captain.
