Assists on first appearance

Essugo assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 6-2 win against Troyes.

Analysis: Essugo did not feature in Strasbourg's starting lineup for Sunday's 6-2 win at Troyes, with Pape Demba Diop and Diogo Sousa forming the double pivot for that clash. Essugo just arrived during the transfer window from Chelsea and will likely need a bit of adaptation before holding a starting role moving forward. The midfielder contributed to one assist off bench against Troyes, highlighting how impactful he will be for the Racing this season.
