Source context
Djed Spence was named Man of the Match after virtually two assists in Inter’s 3-0 Champions League win at Feyenoord, but officially just one. ‘I’m just happy,’ smiled the England international. Although the official statistics will only show one assist for the opening Yann Bisseck goal in Rotterdam, Spence’s deflected pass did end up on the head of Francesco Pio Esposito for 2-0 as well. There was very nearly a third, as Esposito was offside on another Spence roll across that was disallowed, while Piotr Zielinski completed the 3-0 rout.
