Emmanuel Gyasi provides assist as 10-man Spezia claim first-ever Serie A win

Emmanuel Gyasi had a hand in a goal with newly-promoted Spezia securing their maiden Serie A win away to Udinese on Wednesday, however doing it with 10 men.

The Little Eagles secured top-flight promotion after seeing off Chievo Verona and Frosinone in the Serie B promotion-playoffs last season having finished third during the regular campaign.

It wasn’t a good first league outing for the Liguria side as they suffered a 4-1 loss to Sassuolo on Sunday.

The situation was however different for Spezia on Wednesday and they were very pumped up to correct their wrongs against Sassuolo, getting the ball into the back of the net in just the second minute of play at the Stadio Friuli via Matteo Ricci.
