Inter striker Edin Dzeko had quite an impact in his appearance in the team’s 2-0 Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen, scoring the team’s opener before setting up Denzel Dumfries for their second goal
As football statistics account Opta pointed out in a tweet, the Bosnian is the oldest player to bag both a goal and an assist in a match in Europe’s top competition since Chelsea’s Didier Drogba had done so eight years ago.
Their tweet reads, “36y 180d – At 36 years and 180 days, Edin Dzeko is the oldest player to score and assist in the same #UCL game since Didier Drogba for Chelsea in November 2014 (36y 259d). Mature.”
