Nicolò Zaniolo
Routine showing against Cagliari
Zaniolo created one scoring chance and registered one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Cagliari.
Analysis: Zaniolo wasn't as effective as in some recent tilts but still picked up stats across the board in the final third, extending his ongoing streaks in every key offensive category. He has sent in multiple crosses in the last 12 rounds, totaling 58 deliveries (16 accurate) and adding 27 corners and 23 key passes over that span. Additionally, he has fired at least one shot in the last eight fixtures, racking up 20 attempts (seven on target) and assisting twice during that stretch.
Offensive machine
Zaniolo generated three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Monday's 3-3 draw against Lazio.
Analysis: Zaniolo didn't get a goal or assist in a rare letdown by the Lazio defense, but this was a tough unit in general in Serie A play. The attacker should have better stats if he keeps up this volume against Torino, a side which has allowed 56 goals in Serie A this season.
Pulls the strings in defeat
Zaniolo registered four shots (one on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Parma. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.
Analysis: Zaniolo led the Udinese attack Saturday with four shot attempts (one on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and four corners as they were held at-bay in a 1-0 home loss to Parma. Across his last five appearances (five starts), the attacker has supplied two assists and created six chances from 20 crosses (four accurate) and eight corners. Zaniolo has been named to the Udinese starting XI in nine successive Serie A fixtures.
