Following Toronto FC's victory over Kansas City at the weekend, match-winner Danny Dichio was adamant that head coach John Carver's departure probably helped to rally the troops.

Speaking to reporters after the game Dichio said, "I don't think it was a distraction, I think it may egged us on a little bit.

"We wanted to show we have a great team spirit here and no matter what happens with the [coaching] staff or any of that ... we have to go out and show the fans that we're strong as a unit."
