If he hasn't already, Clarence Goodson appears to be cementing a starting spot for Brondby IF.
Goodson started his second game of the season for Brondby on Monday, and he helped the club shutout Randers FC, 4-0, with a 90-minute performance. The cleansheet was Brondby's second consecutive, having defeated Esbjerg, 3-0, last Thursday.
Robbie Findley continued his recovery from a major hamstring injury, playing 25 minutes just two days after making his Nottingham Forest debut. Forest won yet again, beating Bristol City, 3-2.
It wasn't all good news for Americans Abroad on Monday. Eddie Johnson failed to dress for Preston North End, and Zak Whibread was subbed off due to injury in Norwich City's 3-2 win against Derby County.
