Americans Abroad in the English League One Recap and Video Highlights: Jemal Johnson and Mike Grella score goals
It’s a busy weekend with a many International fixtures but there were many of the lower divisions still playing matches. The English League One had a full slate of matches (as most rosters don’t have players who’d miss for WCQ) including Jemal Johnson playing for the Milton Keynes Dons and Mike Grella for Leeds United. Both players scored goals in their matches, the first for Grella in a Leeds uniform. Here’s a full recap of these two Americans from September 5, 2009.
Jemal Johnson (MF) – Milton Keynes Dons – lost to Huddersfield Town – Video Highlights
Johnson continued to be in the starting line-up and delivered for MK Dons with a 47th minute goal to give his team the lead. Unfortunately for the Dons, they conceded two late goals after having a 2-1 lead to lose 2-3. Johnson’s goal came from 20 yards out as he curled a shot to the upper left corner. The Dons are still in good shape in the league table and should be in contention for a promotion spot by May.

Mike Grella (ST) – Leeds United – beat Stockport County 2-0 – Video Highlights
Grella got a rare start for Leeds United and scored his first goal for the club in the 9th minute as they beat Stockport County 2-0. The win puts the club undefeated with a 6-0-0 record and they are in great form. Grella’s goal was from about 18 yards out to the lower right corner. With his strong showing, he should be getting more playing time and chances in the starting lineup.
