(Reuters) - Italian Sebastian Giovinco's second hat-trick of the season led Toronto FC to a 4-1 triumph over the New England Revolution and boosted his hopes of becoming Major League Soccer's (MLS) first ever back-to-back MVP on Saturday. The comprehensive win left Toronto (10-7-6) on 36 points, just one shy of first-placed New York City FC. The striker, who burst onto the MLS scene last year with an MVP season, is the league's leading scorer with 15 goals – two more than New York City’s David Villa.
