Norwich beat Rotherham 5-0 American forward in fine form Sargent scored the fourth for his side GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The United States international has been in scorching form this campaign and was once again in the thick of things as the Canaries thrashed Rotherham 5-0 on Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road. Just within a minute of first-half stoppage time, Jack Stacey set him up with a delightful cross from the right flank and the forward stabbed it first time beyond the reach of Viktor Johansson between the sticks.

Gabriel Sara opened the scoring in the 13th minute and the floodgates opened thereafter. Jacob Sorensen doubled the lead eight minutes later and after the half-hour mark, Borja Sainz made it 3-0. Sargent increased the lead before half-time with a clinical finish Sara took just two minutes to score his second of the night to put the match to bed.
DID YOU KNOW?
Sargent's incredible form in front of goal has not gone unnoticed as Brentford have reportedly shown interest in him. The Bees are preparing themselves for life without Ivan Toney – who is on the radar of Arsenal and Chelsea- and Thomas Frank believes that Sargent would fit his style.

If Sargent continues his fine form until the end of the campaign the proven goalscorer would attract plenty of admiring glances over the coming weeks. However, any potential suitor must be prepared to shell a hefty chunk for the USMNT forward as he has a contract with the Canaries until 2028.
