Lynden Gooch can’t stop scoring for Sunderland in his return to the starting lineup.
The American midfielder scored a pair of goals in the Black Cats’ 3-1 home league win over Lincoln City on Saturday. Gooch now has seven league goals this season, including three in his last three starts for Phil Parkinson’s side.
With Sunderland leading 1-0 after 20 minutes, the hosts continued to keep the pressure on at the Stadium of Light. Gooch finished easily in the 23rd minute after a mix up at the back allowed the 24-year-old to nod home his first of the game.
Gooch continued a three-goal in ten-minute span in the 30th minute after being played in on goal. He stroked home his second goal of the first-half to put the Black Cats ahead 3-0.
Lincoln City pulled a goal back, but finished second best on the day as Sunderland earned their first win of 2020. Gooch was substituted off in stoppage time with the points in the bag for the home team.
Parkinson’s side move up to ninth in the EFL League One with 35 points. Up next is a home date with Wycombe Wanderers on Jan. 11th. Gooch will aim to build off his seven goals, which is his best haul in a season yet on Wearside.
Pretty sure he just signed a new deal — guy apparently is ride-or-die Sunderland.
He has to leave, he has no shot if he continues to play in League One.
He should go to Barcelona!!
Tough to displace Messi right now, but maybe in 3-4 years time. Griezman and Suarez are easier to push out of the lineup
I meant like the Championship or Denmark. He’s not Yedlin he could never play for Barcelona.
No he doesn’t. Sunderland missed promotion only by losing to Charlton. They’ve switched some players since then but
I’d guess they still have a shot at promotion this season or next.
They’ve won 2 of 3 after winning 1 in the previous 13. They’re are only 6 pts out of 2nd but in 9th place. He’s 24 if he’s going to be a player for the national team he can’t spend another year in League One.
