The 2023/24 English football season fully got underway this weekend and several USMNT international excelled up and down the country.
Josh Sargent led the way for Norwich City, scoring the opening goal and also assisting another as the Canaries held on for a 4-4 draw at Southampton. The USMNT forward led the line in David Wagner's squad and walked away with a Man of the Match award for his showing at St. Mary's Stadium.
Sargent needed just seven minutes to break the deadlock on the South Coast before also assisting Gabriel Sara in the 23rd minute for Norwich's second goal. Although Southampton's 97th minute equalizer from Adam Armstrong ended the Canaries' hopes of three points, Sargent impressed.
Norwich City next travels to Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday in its rescheduled EFL Cup first round tie.
