USNMT and Christian Pulisic make history and Wayne Rooney and David Beckham will have taken note

The United States men's national team made history before and after their 7-1 win over Grenada in the CONCACAF Nations League - and Wayne Rooney and David Beckham will have taken note of the line-up.

Ricardo Pepi opened the scoring inside four minutes before Leeds United players Brenden Aaronson and Weston McKennie, who is on loan from Juventus, plus Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, also struck before the 50th-minute mark. Pepi completed a brace soon after, and Alejandro Zendejas added a seventh to complete the rout in Saint George's.

Scoring seven goals away from home is something the national team had not done before and was just one goal shy of the record-setting eight put past fellow Caribbean island nation Barbados in 2008. And that was the second history-setting feat of the night.
