VIDEO: USMNT midfielder Brenden Aaronson scores goal, adds assist as Leeds thump Oxford United to move into second in Championship standings

U.S. international Brenden Aaronson scored and assisted for Leeds United as they defeated Oxford United, 4-0, in the English Championship on Saturday. The 24-year-old helped Jayden Bogle score their second of the day in the 57th minute, before adding a strike of his own in the 67th to make it 3-0.

Teammate Manor Solomon scored the dagger in the 73rd minute. Aaronson's strike saw him fed by Solomon before slotting home with a low-driven right-footed effort.

Aaronson has been in fine form of late, and his return to Leeds in 2024 has proved to be a successful one after some uncertainties early in the campaign. Through 21 regular season games, he has six goals and two assists, putting him on track to have hist best scoring season to date as a professional.

In 2020/21 with Salzburg in Austria, he scored seven goals and recorded five assists -- and now, he looks set to surpass that record with this campaign.

Leeds sit second in the English Championship with 45 points, three points out from league leaders Sheffield United.

The 24-year-old and Leeds return to action on Thursday in a Boxing Day clash with Stoke City. They round-out the calendar year on Dec. 29 against Derby County.
