The New England Revolution made it seven consecutive home matches against Toronto FC without defeat, stunning the defending champions in a 3-2 victory on Saturday.
On a rainy occasion in Foxborough, Ma., New England strode comfortably into a 2-0 lead before many fans could find their seats.
New England, in an attempt to put their treacherous 4-2 defeat against Montreal in the past, came out in an aggressive way. The Revolution’s high press immediately overwhelmed Toronto, leading to a pair of early goals off turnovers.
The first Revs goal came in the fourth minute, resulting from a turnover in midfield forced by Scott Caldwell.
