Sealed with a Giovinco free kick. #TORvCHI https://t.co/dJQt9ksmw0

Sebastian Giovinco is back, ladies and gentlemen, and you'd do well not to forget it.
The Atomic Ant was in fine form in Toronto FC's Friday night fixture against the Chicago Fire, scoring an 82nd-minute free-kick from well outside the box to give the Reds a 3-0 lead. The goal itself was perfectly placed and accounted for his second of the night, but head coach Greg Vanney decided that would do and took Giovinco out of the match soon after, for Benoit Cheyrou.
The decision didn't sit well with the Italian, who went straight down the tunnel, anger etched on his face, and smacked a stanchion down on the way out.
David Accam added a consolation for Chicago as the match ended 3-1, Toronto FC earning its first home victory of the 2017 season.
