QPR flop Junior Hoilett now Canada’s all-time assist leader after setting up two goals in win over Martinique
QPR flop Junior Hoilett became Canada’s all-time assist leader after he set up two goals in his country’s 4-1 win over Martinique on Sunday.
The ex-Cardiff and Blackburn winger moved to 14 assists in total – overtaking previous leader Dwayne De Rosario.
Alphonso Davies is third on 12 – one behind De Rosario.
Former Fulham star Tomasz Radzinksi is level with the Bayern Munich ace.
And Martin Nash completes the top five with nine.
Hoilett, 31, managed just 13 goals and 13 assists in 122 games for QPR.
He had a similar record at Cardiff where he managed 25 goals and 22 assists in 184 games until the expiration of his contract on July 1 this year.
Canada actually went 1-0 down in their Concacaf Gold Cup Group B match against Martinique.
Emmanuel Riviere put the minnows ahead after ten minutes at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, USA.
But their lead was short lived as Cyle Larin levelled things up just six minutes later – heading in a Hoilett corner.
