This Friday brings the fourth competitive match between MLS’ two New York franchises, New York City FC and NY Red Bulls. That might explain why everybody is running out of things to say about the rivalry:
But if BWP wants to know why he’s constantly being asked about David Villa he need only think back a couple of weeks. The two sides met then at Yankee Stadium in the last league match between them. NYC FC won that game, 3-2. Wright-Phillips scored both the Red Bulls’ goals. Villa topped that with a hat trick of his own.
It was the second league win this year for the blues over the reds from New Jersey.
