Antonee Robinson and Donovan Pines were on their teams’s respective stat sheets this weekend for assists and goals, while several other Yanks in England were happy to have continued to secure starting spots before the international break.
Antonee Robinson noteched an assist for Fulham, who fought back to draw Premier League new boys Ipswich Town on Saturday.
The home side had a stunning first half goal inside of 15 minutes through Liam Delap, but Robinson’s ball in from the left flank provided the needed assist to Adama Traore to get Fulham back in the game just past the half-hour, which ended 1-1.
Chris Richards went the distance for Crystal Palace as they faced off against Chelsea. Newcomer and likely backup keeper going forward Matt Turner was not included in the team sheet however. Palace was able to secure a vital away point with a 53rd-minute stunner Eberechi Eze to level the affair at 1-1.
