olton made it three wins out of three on their North American tour as they defeated Major League Soccer outfit Toronto FC on penalties.

"In injury-time we probably committed too many players in the box and we should have maybe settled for coming in at 1-0."We've still got a few rungs to go up on the ladder before 14th August but I've been delighted with the whole tour and with the performance tonight - it was a win-win situation."
