Bernardeschi scores three goals as rampant Toronto FC thumps CF Montreal 5-1

After a 5-1 thumping of an injury-ravaged CF Montreal on Saturday, Toronto FC's Italian duo of Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne had the honour of leading the Viking Clap, banging the drum in front of the fervent fans in the south stands at BMO Field. Bernardeschi had a hat trick, boosting his goal total to seven in his last four games after being blanked for 19 outings. Insigne, captaining the side in his first start since March 23, had a pair of assists. “For us, it was very important tonight — for the city for the fans, for the team,” Bernardeschi said in English.
