Toronto FC saw their six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions snapped as two goals from Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and another from David Villa powered New York City FC to a 3-2 win on Sunday afternoon.

Toronto equalized twice, first through Sebastian Giovinco and then Victor Vazquez, but the defending MLS Cup champions were facing a tall order following a red card issued to Jozy Altidore 11 minutes into the match.
