Back in the New York City FC starting lineup after coming off the bench against Sporting Kansas City last weekend, Tommy McNamara was back to doing what he does best – create scoring chances.
McNamara made his 17th start of the season Sunday, back in his familiar spot in Patrick Vieira’s three-man front line with David Villa and Jack Harrison.
In helping lead NYCFC to a critical 3-1 win over Montreal, McNamara recorded the first multi-assist game of his career, moving ahead of Andrea Pirlo into the team lead with eight assists. He is third in MLS, behind Sacha Kljestan (10) of the New York Red Bulls and Mauro Diaz (9) from FC Dallas.
