Weston McKennie's Goal Caps Big Weekend for USMNT Stars in Europe

A big Saturday for U.S. men's national team players seemed to roll over into Sunday following Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie's goal in a 3–1 win over Genoa.

With Juventus up 2–1 at home, McKennie entered the match as a substitute in the 68th minute in his first appearance since being benched, along with teammates Paulo Dybala and Arthur, for throwing a house party during the international break in a breach of COVID-19 protocol.

But the 22-year-old made an instant impact just two minutes after coming on, beating Genoa's offside trap and coolly chipping keeper Mattia Perin for his fifth Serie A goal.
