The Five Players Still Playing Who Have Over 400 Career Goals
David Villa reached a huge personal milestone at the weekend when he became the latest member of the 400 club.
Villa scored twice as New York City FC ran out 3-1 winners over FC Dallas and bounced back from the disappointing 3-0 defeat to Portland Timbers a week prior. His penalty in the 35th minute took him to 400, before his second saw him pass the landmark.
It's a massive accomplishment for the Spaniard, who will go down as one of the greatest strikers of our generation.
