David Villa has spent two years making New York City FC history, and on Tuesday, he grabbed his own little piece of MLS history.

Villa was named Landon Donovan 2016 MLS MVP, following a season in which he scored 23 goals and four assists, finishing second in the MLS Golden Boot and helping lead NYCFC to their first Audi MLS Cup Playoffs berth. He was also named to the 2016 MLS Best XI.

Villa’s 41 goals in MLS regular season play are tied for most over the past two seasons.

The striker, who was the first player signed by NYCFC, becomes the first player from the club to win any MLS individual end-of-season award, including MVP. He is also the first World Cup winner and first Spaniard to win MLS MVP.

The award was voted on by MLS club management, media, and current MLS players. Below is a breakdown of the voting results:
