Americans Abroad: Clint Dempsey, Jonathan Spector Keep Scoring Goals

Filed under: European Soccer, English Premier League, Bundesliga (Germany), U.S. Men's National Team

Several Americans abroad found net this weekend, a few settled in with new clubs, and one even did both. But amid it all, Clint Dempsey continued to set the gold standard for Yanks abroad.

The Fulham midfielder scored both goals in the Cottagers' 2-0 home win over Stoke City on Saturday, bringing his English Premier League total to eight on the season -- five more than Fulham's second-leading scorer.

The crafty Texan scored the opener in the 33rd minute when, in vintage Dempsey fashion, he launched a goal-crashing run to beat his man to the ball and slide Andy Johnson's cross into the roof of the net (photo).
