A 2-1 win over Toronto FC<\/a> last night has moved the New England Revolution up to second in the Eastern Conference standings. Bobby Wood and Giacomo Vrioni were on target at Gillette Stadium as the Revs further close the gap on a high-flying FC Cincinnati side. It wasn\u2019t all rosy in Foxborough though with an injury to Gustavo Bou raising a few eyebrows\u2026<\/p>\n

Wood and Vrioni Fire Home in the Absence of Gustavo Bou<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nine Points from Nine on a Home Stretch <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Three points from a possible 15 was a fairly underwhelming return from the games prior to this home stretch. With two consecutive wins on home soil now becoming three, the Revolution\u2019s fortunes are on the up and up. Bobby Wood<\/a> rejoined Carles Gil at the top of the scoring charts and he was also credited with the assist for Giacomo Vrioni\u2019s strike.<\/p>\n

In spite of the positive result, head coach Bruce Arena wasn\u2019t best pleased with the display from his squad. \u201cWe had a poor game and were fortunate to get three points. I give Toronto a lot of credit, they played hard and they made us earn the three points.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needed nine from the homestand. Got nine from the homestand. #NERevs<\/a><\/p>\n
