Rasmus Hojlund

The Dane enjoyed a hot start to life in Italy with four goals for SSC Napoli but he picked up an injury which halted his progress.

He has since played in three consecutive games without scoring, including in the 0-0 stalemate with Eintracht Frankfurt last night in the Champions League.

Hojlund had a total of two shots, one that was blocked and one that was on target.

One of those opportunities was classified as a big chance missed to open the scoring.

The striker made 0 key passes in the match but did complete 17 out of his 19 passes.

He was also only able to win one of his six ground duels in a disappointing match for the Italians.

Dan Gore

The midfielder got another 90 minutes under his belt as Rotherham United drew 2-2 with Burton Albion in League One.

He completed 89% of his passes and had 71 touches of the ball.

Gore also got through some important defensive work, making two interceptions, one clearance and blocking two shots on goal.

The young midfielder also won four ground duels and two aerial contests in the encounter.

Radek Vitek

The Czech goalkeeper could not prevent his Bristol City side from slipping to a second consecutive defeat.

They went down 0-1 at home to Blackburn Rovers as their playoff ambitions have stumbled slightly.

Vitek made four stops in the match, with two coming from inside the box. One was a smart stop down to his right after an impressive volley from the Rovers attacker.

He also made two successful runs outs and completed three clearances in the match.

Vitek also won his only ground duel but was powerless to stop Yuki Ohashi’s close-range strike just on the verge of half time.
