He was fouled once at Chelsea on Saturday, once at Como, twice at Leeds, once against Tottenham and three times at Fulham, so he has hit the line in four of his last six games.

He has scored three goals in 490 minutes this season, one every 163 minutes, and has scored in each of his last two appearances, against Cagliari and at Udinese on Saturday. He averages 3.12 shots, 1.47 shots on target and 0.45 xG per 90, with 17 shots, eight on target and 2.44 xG in total. He had 10 touches in the opposition box against Slovan Bratislava and six shots against Atalanta, and he has had big chances against Genoa and Slovan Bratislava.
