Clint Dempsey keeps re-writing the record books.

A few weeks after setting the single-season goal record for an American in the Premier League, Dempsey scored twice in Fulham's 3-0 victory over Bolton Wednesday to become the club's career leading goal scorer in the Premier League era with 33.

Dempsey tied Brian McBride and Steed Malbranque with a nifty side volley from inside the area in the 15th minute and set the record three minutes into the second half by touching home a flick from Eidur Gudjohnsen inside the 6-yard box. Dempsey now has 12 goals in league play and 13 overall this season.

Here are highlights of Dempsey's goals:
