Aron Jóhannsson continues to score on Hammarby

It has been a terrific season so far for Aron Johannsson in the Swedish top flight. The USMNT striker increased his season goal total to eight goals in 16 appearances against Faleknburg on Sunday. Johannsson scored what proved to be the match-winner in the 66th minute and then converted a second-half stoppage-time penalty kick to wrap up the victory.

The 29-year-old ranks fifth in the Allsvenskan for goals scored and only trails the leading player Christoffer Nyman by four goals.
