The United States men's national team star had an instant impact on the game as he scored the equalising just 12 minutes after coming on as a substitute for Hwang Ui-jo. The striker followed a through ball from Jonathan Rowe and entered the penalty box before slotting the ball home comfortably between the legs of a Southampton defender.

Sargent has appeared in seven matches across all competitions in the ongoing season where he scored four times and provided one assist.
