New York City FC star David Villa pulled his team up by the bootstraps after going down 1-0 at the hands of the Vancouver Whitecaps at the 37-second mark, scoring a pair of goals - including this incredible acrobatic volley - to go ahead 2-1.
The Spanish striker scored an equalizing effort after reading the Whitecaps' back line and timing his run well. He added his second minutes later off a corner kick swung in by Andrea Pirlo after finding himself completely unmarked in the box.
