Active display against Empoli Aina had four shots (two on target), created one chance, sent in five crosses (two accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Empoli.
Impact Aina made his first start in more than a month and was a big threat from the right flank, especially during the first half, attempting a season-high four shots and being involved in many dangerous plays. After some quiet performances being deployed at the left to start the campaign, the midfielder could have earned himself more opportunities in a new position for the upcoming matches.
