Today, Fiorentina defeated Verona 3-1 in Serie A's 12th round, with forward Moise Kean scoring a hat-trick. However, the highlight of the match came from a surprising source.
Details: In the second minute of added time, legendary Fiorentina goalkeeper David De Gea recorded his second career assist.
The experienced Spanish goalkeeper launched a powerful clearance downfield, allowing Moise Kean to break away from the defenders, go one-on-one with the Verona goalkeeper, and score his third goal of the match.
De Gea previously notched his only other assist in 2021 while playing for Manchester United in the Premier League.
With this victory, Fiorentina managed to hold onto third place in Serie A.
Reminder: In yesterday's match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, the Spanish champions' goalkeeper Andriy Lunin also contributed an assist.
