Riccardo Calafiori
23-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
Assist off bench
Calafiori assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus Bayern Munich.
ANALYSIS
Calafiori made his cross to assist on Arsenal's second goal almost immediately after coming on, providing the true definition of an impact substitute. He's likely going to see more playing time on Sunday against Chelsea and will be counted on to deliver more sparks if Arsenal want to break through a defense which has only allowed 11 goals this season.
