ImpactBirindelli had a great match in the attack despite lining up at right-back, as he registered three chances created, four shots and four crosses in the loss. This was a slightly rare match for the defender, as despite appearing in 20 games this season, he only has 22 shots, 22 chances created and 39 crosses to go along with two assists when it comes to attacking stats. He was also okay in the defense, notching one tackle won, an interception and one clearance.

Warren Bondo - Earns first assist of seasonBondo assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atalanta. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.

ImpactBondo saw a pretty good match Sunday despite the loss, as he notched an assist after finding Daniel Maldini in the 89th minute. This gave Bondo his first assist of the season, only having two goal contributions all campaign. He has now started in 10 of his 20 appearances this season, notching 25 tackles, 11 clearances, 10 shots and five chances created in his 1,115 minutes of play.

Daniel Maldini - Bags goal as substituteMaldini scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Atalanta.

ImpactMaldini eased the suffering a little bit Sunday, as he came on in the 65th minute and scored a consolation goal in the 89th minute off of a Warren Bondo assist. This gave Maldini only his fourth goal of the season, now having five goal contributions, with all of them coming within his past nine appearances. He will hope this generates some talk about more playing time next season or to end this campaign, as he has only featured 10 times with two starts all season.

Michele Di Gregorio - Concedes twice against AtalantaDi Gregorio had four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atalanta.

ImpactDi Gregorio was decent despite the loss Sunday, as he did make four saves before allowing two goals against Atalanta. This comes just after his magnificent display against Bologna, registering seven saves and a clean sheet, having 12 clean sheets on the campaign, two better than last season. However, he will look to add another in the club's next match against Lecce on Saturday.

Ademola Lookman - Bags pair of assistsLookman assisted twice to go with three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Monza.

ImpactLookman was playing in high form Sunday, as he went on to notch two assists, first finding Charles De Ketelaere in the 44th minute before repeating the process with El Bilal Toure in the 72nd minute. This gave Lookman his sixth goal of the season, with his last coming just two appearances ago, now having 14 goal contributions this campaign. He also had a great match crossing the ball, as he tied his season-high with eight crosses while bagging a new season-high in corners with eight as well.

El Bilal Toure - Finds back of netToure scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Monza.

ImpactToure was given his first start of the season Sunday, making the most of his chance by netting a goal in the 72nd minute off of an Ademola Lookman assist. This did give Toure his second goal of the campaign, reaching that mark in only five appearances. He will most likely drop back to the bench, as he only has appeared four times for 90 minutes outside of Sunday's performance, although his display may have earned him more time as the season is coming to an end.

Charles De Ketelaere - Nets goal SundayDe Ketelaere scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Monza.

ImpactDe Ketelaere was back in the starting XI Sunday, putting on a decent performance after notching his first goal since Feb. 11 in the 44th minute of the win. This gave the attacker his seventh goal of the season, now having 13 goal contributions this campaign. He has only started in three of his past six appearances despite typically being a regular starter, notching one goal on four shots and one assist on six chances created across those starts.
