Americans Abroad: Dempsey Becomes American All-Time Leading Scorer in EPL

Photo Credit: AFP
The Deuce was on the loose this afternoon after the Nagadoches (Texas) native bagged a rebound goal to give his Fulham side a 1-0 victory over Liverpool. The goal, Dempsey's 37th in England makes him the all-time leading goal scorer for Yanks in England. Brian McBride, who also played for Fulham (and one of the stadiums bars is named after) now sits in second with 36 goals.

Dempsey was in "I-don't-give-a-shit-mode" all game and nearly had a goal minutes earlier when a nice cut in the box gave him space, but his curling ball struck the crossbar with Liverpool's Pepe Reina was nowhere near being able to stop it.
