Scores twice in win Danjuma scored two goals from five shots (four on goal, one penalty) and created two chances in 71 minutes of Tuesday's 2-1 win over Valencia.

With Danjuma as the primary forward, he's scored his last four goals in that role and should continue to be productive, though the team may suffer some without more support alongside Moreno. Still, Danjuma is one to watch for each match against Liverpool and the middle match at Deportivo Alaves.
