29 Shares

Sergino Dest continued to start for La Liga side Barcelona this week and was a lively force in a 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid.

Dest registered his first league assist for Ronald Koeman’s side, playing 90 minutes in a needed win. The U.S. Men’s National Team fullback connected with Martin Braithwaite for Barca’s second goal of the match while also putting in a solid shift defensively.

The 20-year-old made six recoveries from his right wing back position while also completing 97% of his passes in the match. The Catalan club sits in fifth place, eight points behind leaders Atletico Madrid heading into a short break before returning to action on December 29th.

Elsewhere, DeAndre Yedlin retained his starting spot for Newcastle United, but the Magpies suffered Carabao Cup elimination at Brentford. Zack Steffen helped Manchester City advance in the competition, making one save in a 4-1 win at Arsenal. Josh Sargent and Giovanni Reyna started in German Cup wins for their respective clubs, while Theoson Siebatcheu made it four goals scored in his last two appearances.
