Peter Crouch agreed with Joey.

Michael Owen was not interested in assists...

People are genuinely giving as much credit to a players number of assists as they do to number of goals nowadays. Literally 1 in 10 goals are genuine assists yet someone who plays a 5 yard ball to his mate who screams one in the top corner from 30 yards gets as much credit.🤔🤯

And Cesc Fabregas disagreed.

Of course there will be many examples to support both views, Cesc. And no surprise which side of the debate we both sit! We've experienced doing both so can make a balanced judgment. And I stick to my view. We'll be giving a match ball to people who get 3 assists in a game soon😂 https://t.co/FCIC6ShjNz

Mohamed Salah made a plea to world leaders.

I'm calling on all the world leaders including on the Prime Minister of the country that has been my home for the past 4 years to do everything in their power to make sure the violence and killing of innocent people stops immediately. Enough is enough. @BorisJohnson
