Hot and cold

Rasmus Hojlund’s loan move to SSC Napoli has epitomised a hot and cold season.

The Danish striker has gone on runs where he has scored goals in clusters and has a respectable total of 14 goals and five assists in all competitions for the Italians.

Nonetheless, the season has also been characterised by long dry spells in front of goal.

For example, he has only scored two goals in his last nine matches for the Serie A champions and drew another blank against Parma.

Parma performance

The Dane was substituted after 66 minutes following a disappointing showing in Napoli’s 1-1 draw with Parma, as they lost further ground in the title race.

He only had two shots on goal, but both efforts were blocked by the Parma defence.

His best chance came just before half-time when the ball broke to him in the box, but a poor touch resulted in his effort being well blocked.

Hojlund did grab an assist, however, as he helped his side equalise after the visitors took the lead within the first 60 seconds of the match.

He received the ball in the box and laid it off to former Red Devil Scott McTominay, who clinically tucked away the equaliser.

Hojlund made one key pass in the match and completed an impressive 92% of his passes in the game.

The striker did not get involved in much defensive work, failing to compete in any duels or tackles in the match. He also did not complete any clearances or interceptions.

Napoli still remain in second but are nine points behind Inter Milan. They will next host Lazio on Saturday evening.
