The New England Revolution midfielder Tajon Buchanan scored the game's first goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Toronto FC, his third game back after a spectacular performance with Canada at the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup.

He scored a bullet header on DeJuan Jones' cross in the 20th minute while retreating away from goal, an attempt that fellow Syracuse University product Alex Bono couldn't keep out.

It was the 22-year-old's latest highlight-reel moment, and Revolution head coach/sporting director Bruce Arena was effusive in his praise afterward.

“Tonight, his goal tonight was a terrific goal,” Arena said. “He was dangerous on a bunch of counters, and he has a huge upside ahead of him. We think he has great potential as a player.”
