There were plenty of fantastic goals in week seven, including a few that are sure to be goal of the season candidates.
Week seven of MLS action provided us with plenty of drama and stunning goals. Take a look at the top goals from the weekend that was in Major League Soccer.
David Villa (New York City FC)
This spectacular goal is worth a couple looks (or 10) as Villa blasts this shot from over 50-yards out and into the back of the net. Go ahead and reserve a place for it in the goal of the year race.
50 yards out. FIFTY.

Will Johnson (Orlando City)
It’s a spectacular finish from Johnson as he scores his first goal for Orlando City.
Will Johnson doesn't always score, but when he does, he scores golazos. #ORLvLA https://t.co/gn3z457bZY

Cyle Larin (Orlando City)
All three goals from the Orlando City victory made into our top goals list this week, good choice to have the game on FOX this weekend. This volley from Larin was the late match-winner.
Stunner! @CyleLarin volleys home a game-winner for @OrlandoCitySC. #ORLvLA https://t.co/yHm4KWFBTy
