Haji Wright and Josh Sargent continued to turn the English League Championship into their personal auditions for a U.S. men’s national team return as both American strikers continued their outstanding runs of form.
Wright scored a pair of goals in Coventry City’s seven-goal romp over Queens Park Rangers while Josh Sargent made it goals in four straight matches, albeit in a Norwich City defeat.
The EFL Championship was also good to Aidan Morris over the weekend, with the USMNT prospect delivering the winning assist in Middlesbrough’s win over Sargent and Norwich City.
Sergino Dest continued his excellent start to the Eredivisie season, putting in a 90-minute shift at left back and recording his third goal contributions in four matches in PSV’s 4-2 win vs. Groningen.
Folarin Balogun didn’t find the net, but the American striker played his first 90-minute match since May, starting in Monaco’s 1-0 loss to Lille. Johnny Cardoso made it two straight starts for Atletico Madrid, although Diego Simeone’s side settled for a second straight draw.
