Who gets the assist for David's goal? Kun or Mario?

Vermaelen got the ball last. No one gets the assist. If Kun touched the ball, the ball would have went in, and Kun would have gotten the goal.

Assists are a fucking joke. If a central midfielder takes 4 opponents out of the game and picks out the best pass you've ever seen to put a winger through, and he simply squares it across goal with the easiest pass you've ever seen for a striker to tap in, who has made that goal really?
Most pointless 'stat' in football.

No offence mate but, I couldn't care less about the reports, I have played back the goal many times and he didn't touch it.

Well you are wrong. Aguero headed the ball across the goal and Silva reacted first to score.

Sorry mate, don't understand a word.

They are not a joke, as many, many assists are the reason for goals. But, I agree that other contributions need to be tracked. That's why I have wanted statisticians to take stock of "key passes" since the 90's.

I think its an Aguero assist. Yes he did touch the ball imo.
