After conceding an early goal, Houston Dynamo buckled down on defence and allowed their explosive attack to go to work, scoring three straight goals to earn all three points.

If you enjoy back-and-forth action, you will love to watch the replay of this one.

David Villa only needed six minutes to make his impact, as the Spanish legend took advantage of a poor clearance and smashed home the opening goal from just inside the box to give NYCFC the early lead.

Young Venezuelan Alejandro Fuenmayor would level the match just 15 minutes later, heading home a free kick for the defender’s second goal of the season to make it 1-1.

NYCFC would embarrassingly give up any chance of a result through a poor back pass that Boniek García would happily take advantage of. García was able to easily waltz in and pass the ball across goal for Tomás Martínez to tap into the empty net for his third goal of the season. Classic FIFA goal.

In the 80th minute, Alberth Elis continued to make his case for a spot in the MLS All-Star starting lineup, scoring his seventh goal of the season to add to his five assists to give the Dynamo a 3-1 lead that would prove to be insurmountable.

NYCFC have lost a bit of momentum lately, winning just one of their last four matches to drop to 7-3-3, while Houston improves to 5-3-3 and 4th place in the Western Conference.
