Overall, it was a quiet match week, but Lynden Gooch’s Stoke City managed to secure three crucial points for the first time since August 19. On the flip side, Duane Holmes’ Preston North End suffered their first league loss of the season.
It was a difficult weekend for our boys abroad in the lower tiers of the English football leagues, as no American contributed to a win for their respective clubs.
Duane Holmes’ goal against Plymouth made it three scoring contributions on the bounce for the PNE man while Tyler Bindon returned for Reading after being sidelined for a minor injury.
Josh Sargent scored yet again for Norwich City which sees his side move up to third in the EFL Champions after his side eased past Millwall. Elsewhere, Tyler Bindon has made his third appearance for Reading as they blanked Stevenage.
The journey hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows for our compatriots across the pond. Sadly, only one American player saw his team successfully move on to the second round of the EFL Cup.
