The American midfielder was awarded the Man of the Match title in the triumph, during which Celta Vigo moved three points ahead of the relegation zone in La Liga. In a span of just two minutes, the 25-year-old showcased heroics on the field by setting up Jorgen Strand Larsen’s goal in the 24th minute and swiftly adding one himself just a minute later.

This marked his third goal of the 2024 season across all competitions, notably his debut goal in La Liga, with the other two scored in the Copa del Rey. He has kicked off the new year with a remarkable run of form, timing that couldn’t be better for both his club and country. As Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT prepares for a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal against Jamaica in March and Celta Vigo faces a relegation battle, his contributions could prove pivotal in the upcoming months.

The ongoing 2023-24 campaign already stands as his most prolific scoring season to date, with four months still remaining in the term.

Their next challenge comes against Getafe in La Liga action on Sunday, February 11. They aim to maintain their ascent from the relegation zone while also advancing up the table under the guidance of Rafa Benitez.
