PSV Eindhoven have a comfortable lead over Girona on Tuesday in the Champions League thanks to one man.

American Malik Tillman is pulling the strings for the Dutch side, helping them go 2-0 up by halftime.

The No. 7 first delivered a long throw-in to assist Ryan Flamingo for the opener. He then was allowed space down the left to dribble into the box and double the lead with a strike at the near post.

It means Tillman is the fourth American to both score and assist in the Champions League game. And first since 2017.

There was, however, controversy over whether PSV's first goal should have counted as Tillman's foot crossed over the line during the throw in.
