WATCH: David Villa scores stunning goal in MLS – What a goal!
New York City star David Villa scored a stunning goal from distance in his team’s MLS win on Friday.
The former Spain and Barcelona forward struck from just inside the attacking half in a 2-0 victory over Philadelphia Union in Pennsylvania.
Villa nudged a defender away before his outrageous right-footed attempt, which left Union goalkeeper Andre Blake scrambling.
But the shot-stopper was unable to keep out the incredible strike as it found its way in just under the crossbar.
50 yards out. FIFTY.
Just a ridiculous goal from @Guaje7Villa https://t.co/YZY6UFo1Lv

Jack Harrison had opened the scoring for City, whose win was sealed thanks to Villa’s goal.
