Impact Dybala was unable to produce a goal contribution Sunday, marking his third consecutive match without one. He leads the team in goals with five and has two assists in just 11 appearances, so to would be no surprise to see him break out of this streak soon. The Argentine has a chance to next Sunday, as Fiorentina travel to Rome with 22 goals allowed in 17 matches.

This marked his fourth Serie A goal in 17 appearances this season to go along with one assist. Abraham was booked just a couple minutes after his crucial goal, his first card of the season. It has been a much slower start than last season for the Englishman, but this goal may help him rediscover his form last season that resulted in 21 goal contributions in 37 games.

The 24-year-old defender also played solid on the other end, racking up four clearances, two tackles and an interception. The only downside to his performance was a yellow card in the 82nd minute, his fifth booking of the Serie A season. He'll miss Sunday's home game versus Fiorentina due to yellow-card accumulation. Marash Kumbulla is next in line in the back.

Paulo Dybala - Limps off against Bologna Dybala was forced off in the second half of Wednesday's match with Bologna.

Impact Dybala lasted 74 minutes before succumbing to injury and being replaced. The forward had just returned in limited fashion from a thigh injury at the World Cup, so a reoccurrence of the injury could be in the cards for Dybala.
