Rasmus Hojlund

Hojlund failed to score yet again for SSC Napoli in their Champions League 1-1 draw with Copenhagen.

The forward was returning to his former club, where he scored a brace for Manchester United in November 2023. Hojlund played the 90 minutes and had two shots on goal, one of which was blocked by the home defence.

He failed to complete any key passes or cross attempts in a quiet evening. The Dane did complete his only dribble attempt, though, and was accurate with 17 of his 19 pass attempts in the game.

The striker was also poor in his duel attempts, winning just one of his six ground contests and did not compete in any aerial battles. The big games continue to come thick and fast as Napoli and Hojlund will travel to Turin to face Juventus on Sunday evening.

Radek Vitek

The Czech keeper made his return to the starting line-up at the weekend after recovering from injury.

He was back in the thick of it as Bristol City travelled to Ipswich Town. The Robins lost out 0-2 as he made one save and one high claim in the match.

The keeper will be a little bit disappointed with the first goal he conceded, as he got down a little bit late for an effort he perhaps could have stopped with quicker reactions.

On 36 minutes, he did pull off an absolutely stunning stop, though.

The ball was blocked in the area and the Ipswich attacker instinctively swivelled and fired towards goal from close range. Vitek was ready to pounce, though, and pulled off an incredible one-handed save to tip the ball over the crossbar.

There was little he could do for Ipswich’s second in the second half, when the ball was swept into the bottom corner from a fast break.

He also won his only ground duel, but his passing was poor, completing just 33% of his passing attempts in the match.

Bristol City and Vitek will next be in action when they host struggling Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon.
