David Villa, Frank Lampard score as NYCFC beats Montreal Impact
MONTREAL -- David Villa and Jack Harrison scored in the first half
and first-place New York City FC held on for a 3-1 victory over the
Montreal Impact on Sunday night.
Frank Lampard, with his fifth
goal in six games, added a late strike for NYCFC, who has now won five
of its last six matches, and improved to 6-3-1 on the road.
Harry Shipp scored for Montreal, as the Impact's six-game unbeaten streak came to an end.
A
full house of 20,801 at Saputo Stadium saw former Chelsea teammates
Lampard and Didier Drogba play against one another for the first time,
with NYCFC's Villa and Andrea Pirlo in the match as a bonus.
Villa
scored in the 35th, beating Victor Cabrera to a pass at the edge of the
18-yard box and scoring with a low shot. It was the Spaniard's
league-leading 13th and his fifth in five games against Montreal over
two seasons.
Harrison struck in first-half injury time, dribbling
past Ambroise Oyongo inside the area and scoring inside the far post
with a brilliant individual effort and strike.
Shipp got one back in the 55th on what looked like a pass from the left side intended for Drogba.
