Frank Lampard scores late winner as NYCFC beats D.C. United
NEW YORK -- Frank Lampard scored his second goal of the match three
minutes into stoppage time to give New York City FC a 3-2 victory over
D.C. United on Thursday night.
Lampard took a pass from Khiry
Shelton at the top of the area, faked a defender and goalkeeper Bill
Hamid with the right, and slammed it home with the left to help NYCFC
improved to 12-8-8.
United (7-9-11) led 1-0 late, but NYC's David
Villa scored in the 79th minute thanks to a crucial mistake by United
defender Sean Franklin, whose back-pass inadvertently gave Villa a clean
breakaway.
In the 85th minute, after a physical scramble in the
corner for a loose ball, Shelton pushed it to the center of the box.
Villa tapped it to Lampard before getting hauled down, and Lampard
buried it for the go-ahead.
Lloyd Sam and Lamar Neagle scored for
D.C. United. Neagle's header evened it at two in the first minute of
stoppage time, before Lampard's heroics sent D.C. home losers.'
