- Sargent put Norwich 1-0 up
- USMNT star scored past Steffen
- Steffen recently snubbed from World Cup
WHAT HAPPENED? Sargent's goal came just seven minutes in as the home side took charge early on at Carrow Road. The 22-year-old latched on to a pass from Kenny McClean to score past USMNT teammate Steffen, as Norwich looked to return to the play-off places just a year after their relegation from the Premier League.
WHY DOES IT MATTER TO USMNT FANS? The goal featured two US players as protagonists, each with differing fortunes on the day. Sargent's strike is his eighth already this season, as he enters the World Cup on fine form. Steffen, meanwhile, is lumbering towards the bottom of the table with Middlesbrough. The ex-Manchester City goalkeeper will not feature in Qatar after USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter chose not to select him.
