Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Lynden Gooch, Timothy Weah, and more

1 Shares

Lynden Gooch had been linked with a move away from Sunderland this summer but the U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder made his first start of the new EFL season count this weekend.

Gooch scored a 96th minute winner to give the Black Cats a 2-1 comeback win at the Stadium of Light over Charlton Athletic. The 22-year-old was a lively presence in the midfield, willing to take on defenders at will. His hard work payed off as he headed in at the back post to seal an opening day win for Sunderland.

Elsewhere, Tim Weah scored for PSG in their French Super Cup triumph against Monaco while Antonee Robinson registered an assist in his Wigan debut.

Emmanuel Sabbi scored in Danish Superliga play for Hobro in a 2-2 draw. A pair of Americans made appearances in Sweden, while Brendan Hines-Ike started in Belgium.

  1. Nice for those guys, but when the EPL, Bundasliga, League-1, and LaLiga startwe will see how things are really going to go.

  2. Original reports were inaccurate Robinson did not have an assist. He had a nice run and a dangerous cross that was poorly cleared by the defense and the Wigan player intercepted the clearance and scored. Robinson made a nice play that forced the poor clearance but no assist.

  3. Glad to see Kofi Sarkodie getting some minutes in a decent league overseas. I always thought the potential was there but he was never in the right situation with his clubs.

  4. A nice start to the season for many of our young players in the lower levels of Europe. Hope they all continue to perform throughout the season ahead.
    Hopefully the rest of the European contingent of the Yanks Abroad show as well when the rest of the leagues open their schedules.
