TFC's bad habit of falling behind came back to bite them as a poor start to the game laid the foundation for their third loss of the year.

All good things come to an end eventually, including unbeaten streaks in MLS.

Undefeated in its previous seven matches, Toronto FC lost for the first time in nearly two months courtesy of a 2-1 defeat to Atlanta United on a rainy Saturday afternoon before an announced crowd of 13,754 at BMO Field. The loss was also Toronto's first at home in 14 games dating back to last June.

Coach Robin Fraser didn't hold back when asked in the post-match press conference what the taste of defeat felt like.

"Can you say like s**t? Can you say that? I'm not sure you can say that, but yeah, it's disappointing," Fraser admitted.

Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
