Football: Proud and in disbelief, Toronto's Pozulo named MLS MVP

Toronto FC attacking midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo has been named Major League Soccer's 2020 Most Valuable Player. Pozuelo had nine goals and 10 assists during the coronavirus-shortened regular season, even while the Reds played the part of the year in Connecticut because of travel restrictions in Canada. His 10 assists were tied for the league lead with Houston's Darwin Quintero and Seattle's Nicolas Lodeiro. The 29-year-old from Sevilla, Spain, has been with the Reds for the past two seasons. He had 12 goals and 12 assists last year. Pozuelo finished with 35.35% of the overall vote for the Landon Donovan MLS MVP award. Golden Boot winner Diego Rossi of LAFC was runner-up and Lodeiro finished third in the poll of players, technical staffs and select members of the media.
