USMNT's Josh Sargent bangs in header for Norwich, continues hot scoring form in English Championship

U.S. international Josh Sargent scored the lone goal for Norwich City on Saturday, smashing home a close-range header as the Canaries drew Hull City 1-1 in English Championship action.

Since Jan. 25, Sargent has scored in four out of five matches, bagging five times during the span -- with his season total coming to nine goals and five assists in the Championship.

Ruled out from late October into early January due to injury, the 24-year-old has had a brilliant span of scoring form since returning to full health.

Sargent is one of a few fit strikers remaining in the USMNT pool at the moment, with both Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi currently sidelined with respective injuries. Ahead of the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals in March, it's heavily expected that the 24-year-old - if he remains fit - will be in contention for the starting role under Mauricio Pochettino in the competition.

Norwich, meanwhile, are racing alongside a handful of other teams to secure a promotion playoff spot in the Championship as they aim to secure Premier League soccer come the 2025-26 season. With their draw on Saturday, they now sit 12th in the table, but they're just four points out of sixth place in the standings -- the final playoff spot.

With Sargent up front, though, it's proving to be a potentially feasible task. The American just cannot stop scoring.

The Canaries take the pitch again on Saturday, Feb. 22 against Stoke City.
