Egypt's Ramadan Sobhi dished out an assist to help Stoke City claim a narrow 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
The winger made a rare start after returning from international duty with Egypt and made a fine impact, causing constant menace to Crystal Palace's defenders with his trickery down the left.
He almost created a goal for Joe Allen in the 32nd minute when he turned his challenger inside out before whipping in an inch-perfect cross for the Welshman, whose header missed the target.
However, both combined again to break the deadlock seven minutes past the hour mark.
Sobhi superbly controlled a long ball inside the area, held off his marker and laid the ball off to Allen who fired a low shot into the bottom corner.
He was given a standing ovation when he was substituted eight minutes from time, making way for Mame Biram Diouf.
Sobhi, 20, has made seven Premier League appearances since joining from Egyptian giants Ahly last summer, creating two goals.
