Going into this afternoon’s match against New York City FC, there was a lot of talk about how David Villa had surpassed Sebastian Giovinco as MLS’ best player. Villa, after all, won the league MVP award last season and this year has 14 goals and seven assists. He could well add more individual awards soon.
Maybe Giovinco caught wind of this discussion, because he sure seemed like a man out to prove something. The Atomic Ant scored a brace and added an assist to lead Toronto FC to a 4-0 victory over Villa and NYCFC.
