Héber's Lightning Start #ForTheCity

Five starts, four Heineken Man of the Match awards, three goals, two assists, one Héber.

NYCFC has gone 4-0-3 since the Brazilian began his campaign for the City with his presence playing a huge role in transforming results at this early stage of Season 5.

But don't take our word for it. Doménec Torrent spoke highly of his striker after a 2-0 road win against LA Galaxy in which Héber scored his third goal of the season.

“We didn’t start well, maybe we deserved more," said Torrent. "A key player arrived for us you know, Héber, and it is not about his scoring, it is about when you are in trouble, you can pass the ball to him and he has the quality to keep the ball, create spaces, he is a good player for us and everybody is better when he is playing.
