World Cup-bound Josh Sargent has scored his ninth goal of the season. He beat fellow American Zack Steffen in the seventh minute in Norwich’s 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough in England’s second-tier League Championship. Sargent is a 22-year-old from O’Fallon, Missouri. He was picked Wednesday for the U.S. World Cup roster. Steffen was omitted in favor of Arsenal’s Matt Turner, Luton’s Ethan Horvath and New York City’s Sean Johnson.
