    The 23-year-old forward made a brilliant run into the box, leapt high above a QPR defender and smashed home the ensuing cross. The strike, reminiscent of a trademark Ronaldo header, brought Sargent to four goals in his last six games with seven in 11 appearances this season.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After missing the first portion of the campaign due to injury, Sargent is now back, and is on fire. With his current form, he's the hottest-scoring striker in Europe for the USMNT and is now being touted to play a big role in both the Concacaf Nations League semifinal this March and this summer's Copa America. With the USMNT striker pool so deep, it will be a contentious battle for the starting spot, but with Sargent's form - there is no saying no, at this point in time.
