Toronto pull clear at top

Drew Moor’s early goal set Toronto on their way to victory

Toronto FC strengthened their position as MLS Eastern Conference leaders with a 2-0 win over the New England Revolution.

Defender Drew Moor was the surprise early goalscorer at BMO Field as he turned home Armando Cooper’s cross in the 11th minute.

New England came close to grabbing a late equaliser only for Teal Bunbury to be denied by Alexander Bono and Sebastian Giovinco then confirmed the outcome with a stoppage-time strike.

Toronto are now four points clear of the second-placed Chicago Fire and another four clear of play-off chasing New York City FC.

In the Western Conference, the Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas shared a 1-1 Texas derby draw which saw Maximiliano Urruti cancel out Erick Torres’ first-half opener at BBVA Compass Stadium.
