Riccardo Calafiori
23-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
Scores winner
Calafiori scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 42nd minute.
ANALYSIS
This was technically a poached goal, as the ball was going in even if Calafiori did not head it. The wingback should continue to be active in the attacking third against Leeds United next Saturday, though he'll have to be careful about picking up a second yellow card.
