I'd go so far as to start recording "second assists" in some cases as often the pass before the assist can be what creates a goal.Whiteman absolutely deserves an assist for yesterday's second goal. He created it with a dangerous cross.
Isn't the point of an assist being noted about a player giving another player a goalscoring opportunity that is noted when it is converted? The own goal wasn't that, it didn't reach our player. Arguably a poor pass, or at best a pass and hope.

It was fizzed across the box and the only reason it didn’t reach Lokilo was because their defender stuck a hopeful boot out to intercept, with the pace and direction of the ball meaning it could only divert into the net.
