El Tren just ran over Liverpool.
U.S. men's national team's Ricardo Pepi started for PSV Eindhoven in their final UEFA Champions League league phase bout against none other than tournament-leaders Liverpool, with the American striker coming up huge for the Dutch club with a crucial turnaround goal.
The 22-year-old attacker found a perfect cross to first post, slightly deflecting the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-2 and seal the Eredivisie club's victory.

This is the USMNT star's second goal in the Champions League after just one start in seven matches played, with Pepi only seeing a total of 171 minutes.
The young American also provided an assist for PSV's first goal of the game, setting up teammate Johan Bakayoko with a slick shoulder lay-off.
