Yes, that's what an assist is

But as fans I think we can all see that there are assists and assists - winger brilliantly beats three men, draws the keeper, slides it across for Lineker to tap in - that's an assist. Madueke has a wild swing at the ball, shins it at 45 degrees, it bobbles into Kane's path and Kane slots home - also an assist.

It's like cricket - a glorious cover drive for four all along the grass is a 4, a flukey edge just over second slip down to the thord man is also a 4.
