Watch: David Villa rips Atlanta apart with blistering run-and-gun effort
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports
The man they call "El Guaje" has done it again.
New York City FC captain David Villa opened the scoring at Yankee Stadium in fine fashion Sunday, finishing off a nifty bit of interplay with a solo run through the Atlanta United backline before unleashing a double post-smacking shot to beat goalkeeper Alec Kann.
This run-and-gun effort accounts for Villa's sixth goal of the season.
