Man City Goalkeeper Zack Steffen Becomes Fourth American to Win League Cup

Zack Steffen became just the fourth American player to win the League Cup when Manchester City defeated Tottenham 1-0 in front of a limited-capacity crowd at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The former University of Maryland star keeper started each of the club's five League Cup matches and recorded three clean sheets, including the memorable final win.

Steffen, the starting U.S. men's national team keeper, is the first U.S. international in 19 years to win the League Cup after goalkeeper Brad Friedel won the 2002 League Cup with Blackburn Rovers. Sheffield United midfielder John Harkes (1991) and Leicester City goalkeeper Kasey Keller are the other two Americans to take home the trophy.
