SEATTLE — By now, we’ve grown accustomed to Clint Dempsey getting into a hot run of form. After scoring the game-winner in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City, the Seattle Sounders star has six goals in his past four games. That’s the fifth time he’s averaged at least a goal-per-game over a four-match stretch in his Sounders career, with the best run coming when he scored seven in the first four matches of 2014.
This run feels like a particularly good time to take a step back and appreciate what Dempsey has done in his Sounders career.
