Andrea Pirlo enjoyed some well-deserved rest after scoring his first MLS goal for New York City FC at the weekend, jetting off to Miami for a mini-break with his family.
The veteran midfielder, 37, netted the decisive goal in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Philadelphia Union.
Pirlo, who left Juventus to play out the twilight of his career in the USA last summer, had not scored in his previous 26 appearances but dispatched a trademark curling free-kick to seal Saturday’s win.
