Josh Sargent and Brenden Aaronson both walked away with goals in Saturday’s EFL Championship action.
Sargent scored the winning goal for Norwich City on Saturday as the Canaries defeated visiting West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at Carrow Road. The American striker now has 13 league goals this season and nine in his last 11 appearances for the club.
While it looked like both the Canaries and Baggies would depart with one point apiece, Sargent had the last laugh. After being played upfield on a counter attack, Sargent raced into the 18-yard before cutting onto his right foot and drilling a low shot into the corner.
Norwich City would hang on for a full three points, moving into 10th place in the league table.
“It was a difficult game,” Sargent said postmatch in a club interview. “Not a lot of chances, but it was probably the best way we could end the game. So we’re very happy with that.
“You’ve got to wait for that next opportunity,” he added. “There are a lot of games where you don’t get that opportunity or a lot of chances, but you’ve got to wait for that moment. And today, I did that.”
A six-match April schedule begins for the Canaries at Plymouth Argyle on April 5.
Brenden Aaronson breaks goalscoring drought for Leeds United
Brenden Aaronson didn’t let being excluded from March U.S. men’s national team duty stop him from ending his goalscoring drought on Saturday.
Aaronson scored Leeds United’s opening goal in a 2-2 home draw with Swansea City at Elland Road. The USMNT midfielder now has nine league goals this season after netting his first since February 1.
It was a fast start for Leeds United as Aaronson bundled home a loose ball in the box after only one minute. The midfielder played a key role in the build up play before capping the play off.
Swansea City would peg Leeds United back twice in the match with Harry Darling and Zan Vipotnik netting for the visitors.
Aaronson played 73 minutes in the match.
Leeds United dropped to second place following its draw and Sheffield United’s victory on Friday. Daniel Farke’s men return to action on April 5 at Luton Town.
