MINNEAPOLIS — U.S. national team’s all-time leading scorer Clint Dempsey featured in three of the Sounders’ goals in a 4-0 whitewashing of Minnesota United on Saturday night.
Minnesota was playing without leading scorer Christian Ramirez, who has 11 goals this season, in front of an announced crowd of 22,649 at TCF Bank Stadium.
Dempsey’s assist fed Will Bruin for a ninth-minute goal before his header off a corner in the 18th minute doubled the score line.
Forward Jordan Morris nutmegged United goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth in the 71st minute and then Dempsey notched his second goal in the 73rd minute.
