TORONTO (AP) — Sebastian Giovinco scored three goals and added an assist to break out of an eight-game scoring drought in Toronto FC's 4-1 victory over D.C. United on Saturday night.
The Italian star put in a show in front of 26,349 fans on a steamy night at BMO Field. Two goals came on free kicks 18 minutes apart in the first half, with the third coming in second-half stoppage time as he poked home Mark Bloom's cross to up his goals total to 11 this season.
Giovinco had not scored in league play in more than two months — 70 days to be exact — since scoring twice in a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps on May 14.
Marky Delgado also scored for Toronto (6-7-6)
Jeffrey scored for D.C. United (5-7-7).
