Fabian Johnson played a major part as his Borussia Monchengladbach side marched to a 4-2 victory over Sevilla on Wednesday, scoring his second UEFA Champions League goal of the season and assisting on another.
The USMNT winger/defender curled a spectacular right-footed shot past the Sevilla goalkeeper to put his side up 2-0 at home.
Johnson’s goal and assist for Lars Stindl’s strike puts Monchengladbach in prime position to take third place in Group D and the resulting Europa League spot.
Earlier just this month, Johnson became the sixth U.S. player to score in the UCL with an equalizing strike against Juventus.
Here is Johnson’s goal:

What do you think of Johnson’s goal? Happy to see Jurgen Klinsmann playing Johnson in midfield now? Hoping Johnson plays his way into a big transfer move?

Nice composure!
Who else has UCL goals? Sacha & Dempsey?
Beasley for PSV. Fantastic goal too.
Beasley actually scored a number of Champions League goals, and nearly made the final in 2004 I think. But for those of you never saw this one – http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxudsa_2004-november-2-psv-eindhoven-holland-1-rosenborg-norway-0-champions-league_sport
Can we get an SBI Thanksgiving turkey up in here?
Wow impresive win. Sevilla was looking like an elite team in Europe this year.
Keep it up FJ – hope for qualifying and copa america next year!
Y’all still upset with dude? He’s a quality player, best player we have at this point.
Not that I care one way or the other but quality or not you don’t quit on your national team. That goes from the best player all the way to the third keeper.
Good goal from the sole US player in the Champions league.
