    U.S. international Josh Sargent scored his first goal of the 2024-25 English Championship season Saturday, as Norwich City drew Blackburn 2-2.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After a 2023-24 campaign that saw Sargent end the season with 16 goals and two assists in 30 appearances for Norwich, he's picked right back up where he left off.

    Over the summer, he participated in Copa America 2024 with the U.S. men's national team, but only logged two appearances off the bench, accumulating just 22 total minutes in the tournament.

    His two goal contributions Saturday follow fellow American and Championship striker Haji Wright's brace on Friday with Coventry City.
