Chelsea Loanee Ola Aina With Throw-In Assist For Torino Vs Lazio
Published: May 26, 2019Nigeria international Ola Aina provided an assist for Torino in their 3-1 victory against Lazio on the final day of the Italian Serie A season on Sunday afternoon.
Five minutes into the second half, the wing-back's long throw-in found Iago Falqué, who volleyed past goalkeeper Silvio Proto to give The Maroons the lead.
According to the regulations, an assist is awarded for a pass leading directly to a goal and this applies equally to corner kicks and throw-ins.
Aina was also credited with assists against Sampdoria (November 4) and Frosinone Calcio (March 10), and netted his only goal of the season against Udinese in February.
The Chelsea-owned defender joined Torino on a season-long loan in August with an option to buy for ten million euros at the end of the season but it remains to be seen if the Turin outfit will execute the option as Chelsea have been slapped with a two-window transfer ban by Fifa after breaching rules in relation to the signing of youth players.
Aina will recharge his batteries for about one week before reporting for international duty in Asaba ahead of the Super Eagles trip to Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations.
