Does very little in 1-1 draw Fekir produced one shot (none on target), created one chance, sent four crosses (one accurate), took three corners and drew five fouls in the 1-1 draw with Mallorca on Saturday.

Impact Fekir was uncharacteristically off in the draw Saturday. The midfielder is typically very productive game in and game out, but he only had a single shot attempted and chance created.
