  WHAT HAPPENED?

  U.S. international Josh Sargent extended his hot streak following a long-term muscle injury, smashing the ball into the top corner to finish off a well-worked Norwich counterattack for the opening goal. The USMNT forward initiated the move with a clever layoff, then darted in behind the defense, collected a pass in stride and lofted the ball over the sprawling goalkeeper.

  Unfortunately for Norwich, Derby found a late equalizer, forcing a 1-1 draw.
