Nigeria international full-back Ola Aina assisted the only goal of the game, helping Torino beat Udinese 1-0.

Ola Aina's assist helps Torino to a win
The 26-year-old had an impressive game all-round, completing four of five dribbles attempted, winning 100 per cent of his aerial duels, and over 50% of his ground duels.
However, his most important contribution to the game was the pinpoint cross he delivered into the box around the 49th-minute mark that was brilliantly finished by Ivorian forward Yann Karamoh. The goal was reviewed by the VAR for a possible foul in the build-up, but nothing damning was found and the goal stood.
