It was a disappointing start to 2017 for Toronto FC and Giovinco, as the Italian star missed two consecutive matches and failed to score in the first month of the season. The 2016 runner-ups were also struggling for points as they failed to win in their first four matches.
The reintroduction of Giovinco has sparked a fire in the Toronto FC attack, and it’s working, as the Canadian club have won three consecutive home matches, with Giovinco scoring four of the club’s seven goals during this win streak.
His five goals have come in less than a month and Giovinco has found himself back in the thick of things in the MLS Golden Boot race.
