Fernandes's 21st Assist Sparks Debate Over Contested Goal

Bruno Fernandes’s 21st Premier League assist broke Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne’s record, but the moment sparked debate after Patrick Dorgu’s header clattered the crossbar and hit Bart Verbruggen’s glove.

The episode underscores ongoing questions about how assists and goals are counted in the league.
