CHRIS SMALLING NEWS

Scores in win Smalling scored one goal on one shot on target, won two tackles, made two interceptions and five clearances in Saturday's 4-1 win versus Atalanta.

Impact Smalling had a great offensive outing as he found the back of the net in the second half to help his side take home all three points. The center-back has now registered two goals in 15 appearances this season. However, he holds little fantasy value outside of racking up defensive stats and being an aerial threat on set piece situations.
