David Villa will struggle to sleep after New York City FC crashes out

New York City FC striker David Villa says he will struggle to sleep after his team's humiliating exit from the MLS playoffs.

Sebastian Giovinco and Toronto FC showed no mercy as they crushed NYCFC 5-0 in the second leg of their tie to ease into the MLS Eastern Conference championship against the Montreal Impact.

Last season's MVP Giovinco scored a hat trick in Sunday's second leg to lead Toronto to a devastating 7-0 aggregate success and to within three matches of winning the MLS Cup.

NYCFC captain Villa played the full 90 minutes of the five-goal home defeat at Yankee Stadium and finds the result tough to accept.
