USMNT's Brenden Aaronson Kick-Starts Salzburg's Comeback Win

Brenden Aaronson's first club goal since September helped Salzburg secure three more points as it runs away atop the Austrian Bundesliga table.

In Salzburg's first league game after a two-month winter break, Aaronson's second-half goal vs. Rapid Vienna kick-started a come-from-behind, 2–1 win on Friday. The goal was the U.S. international's second of the season, and the other one also came against Rapid Vienna, back on Sept. 19.

Aaronson, reportedly the subject of intense transfer interest from Leeds United over the January window, delivered a first-time finish for his goal, coming up with a clean hit off Noah Okafor's cross.
