The new year did not begin well for a pair of United States men's national team regulars who ply their trade in the Premier League. Geoff Cameron and Brad Guzan both experienced rough days at the office for Stoke City and Aston Villa respectively during Saturday's slate of matches in England. 

Down in the lower divisions of English football, an American defender scored his first goal in over two years, while a former USMNT player continued his push for the middle of the table as a manager in the Championship.

Below we'll have a recap of all the USMNT news to come out over the last week in the latest edition of the USMNT Watch.

 

Cameron Sent Off, Guzan Struggles

Saturday was far from a banner day for the USMNT contingent in the Premier League as Cameron was sent off and Guzan made a key positioning error on a crucial goal.

In the 84th minute of Stoke City's clash with West Bromwich Albion, Cameron lightly shrugged off Claudio Yacob, but he saw red because his hands went in the direction of Yacob's face. 



After looking at replays of the incident, the call appeared to be harsh from referee Lee Mason. The Potters will surely appeal the decision in the upcoming days, but for now Cameron faces a three-game suspension.

In Aston Villa's vital relegation six-pointer with Sunderland, Guzan positioned himself poorly on Jermain Defoe's game-winner. Guzan left plenty of space open at the near post for Defoe to strike Sunderland's second goal of the match into that area of the net. The 3-1 loss to the Black Cats put the Villans seven points behind Sam Allardyce's team in the race for survival.



DeAndre Yedlin did not feature for Sunderland. Tim Howard and Everton are set to play Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
