U.S. International Eddie Johnson scored his first goal for Championship side Cardiff on Saturday in the team’s 3-0 victory over Doncaster.
Taking the ball at the edge of the box in the 60th minute, Johnson cut in from the right side and curled the ball beautifully passed Doncaster keeper Neil Sullivan with his left foot for Cardiff’s third goal.
The 24-year-old Johnson who is on a season-long loan from Fulham at the moment has made 20 appearances for the Bluebirds this season.
Prior to making the jump to Europe, Johnson was a mainstay in MLS having played 84 games for FC Dallas between 2001 and 2006 and then 43 times for the Kansas City Wizards from 2006-2008. During that time in America’s top flight division, Johnson scored 41 goals, 24 with Dallas and 17 with the Wizards.
He’s also been a mainstay in the U.S. Men’s National Team having played for the senior squad on 37 occasions, scoring 12 times in the process.
