The Three Designated Frank Lampard, David Villa and Andrea Pirlo all recorded goals in the match that helped to snap a four-match winless streak for NYCFC.
For Lampard it was not only his first goal for New York City FC, but it was also his first start of the club. The veteran midfielder made his presence known immediately, scoring that goal in the eighth minute.
Villa, who now leads Major League Soccer with his 11 goals, thanks to his shot in the 21 minute that went to the left of the Philadelphia Union keeper and into the cage. To cap off the scoring Pirlo recorded his first Major League Soccer goal in the 50th minute.
