A return to Bank of America Stadium didn't provide Toronto FC with the salvation it was looking for on Wednesday night.

TFC saw their losing streak extended to five consecutive games following a humbling 3-0 road defeat to Charlotte FC as they remain on course to recording their worst ever league campaign.

The loss means the Reds remain the only team in MLS this season without a single road win. The club's previous victory away from BMO Field was a 2-0 decision over Charlotte on Aug. 28, 2022.

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