Zardes fastest USMNT player to double-digit goals and assists since Donovan

The American forward's flick towards the back post in the Gold Cup on Sunday put him in illustrious company

Gyasi Zardes may be known as more of a finisher than a creative playmaker, but the U.S. men's national team forward's assist on Sunday put him in some illustrious company.

Zardes assisted the USMNT's opening goal of the Gold Cup with a fortunate touch towards the back post, which fell right to the onrushing Sam Vines.

Vines was able to head home to give the U.S. the 1-0 lead while also helping Zardes notch his 10th assist, putting him into a club featuring several USMNT legends.
