East Side Stand Up

That's right, Jermain Defoe comes through, and newly added Luke Moore adds the insurance as Toronto earn a critical home victory 2-0 over the New York Red Bulls. It was an important display as Ryan Nelsen had traded away one of the Reds few goalscorers in Issey Nakajima-Farran (on his birthday no less) and goals have been a rarity so far in 2014. It was another strong defensive effort and one that, despite it not being wholly convincing, was important in keeping TFC in the middle of the pack and in a good position to move up if and when better form takes shape.
