As far as entertainment value goes, Saturday's 4-4 draw between Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire at BMO Field had plenty to offer.

A hat trick from Josh Sargent. A goal by the iconic Robert Lewandowski. Late heroics from TFC. Two lead changes. Countless swings in momentum. This game was a neutral's delight, although coach Robin Fraser didn't see things that way.

"'[I have] a different perspective," Fraser quipped in the post-match presser.

The draw allowed Toronto (5-7-11) to extend its unbeaten streak to six games but it also dropped one place to 11th in the Eastern Conference, two spots and one point below the playoff line with 11 games remaining in the regular season.

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