WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Marc Burch, Fred, Jaime Moreno and Luciano Emilio scored goals Saturday night, as D.C. United beat Toronto FC, 4-1, in an MLS contest in Washington.

Toronto got on the board first when Carl Robinson beat D.C. goalie Troy Perkins with a free kick in the 14th minute.

D.C. United scored four times in the second half -- running the expansion Toronto franchise’s winless streak to 12 games.
