Mehdi Bourabia - Eight crosses againBourabia had eight crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Fiorentina.

The 31-year-old has moved from defensive-midfield to a defensive-right midfielder, giving him the freedom to produce more crosses. This brings his crosses on the year to 20 (four accurate) along with 21 tackles (nine won).

ImpactCabral coming on as a sub was significant in the match as he scored in the 90th minute to give Fiorentina the win on Sunday. He has now scored in two straight games.

M'bala Nzola - Nets in goal in defeatNzola scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Fiorentina.

ImpactNzola bagged his fifth goal of the season as he continues to deliver for Spezia. This is now his third goal in six matches and continues to lead the team in goals scored. The Frenchman is just six goals away from tying his career high for a season and it looks like he will break it if he keeps up the same scoring form. He will look to add on more goals on the campaign with a trip to Milan on Saturday, who have conceded 12 goals in the last 12 matches.

Cristiano Biraghi - Finally gets first assist of seasonBiraghi assisted to go with seven crosses (one accurate), four corners, four chances created and four tackles (one won) in Sunday's 2-1 win over Spezia.

ImpactIt was only a matter of time that Biraghi got his first assist of the year with a cross right to Nikola Milenkovic for a goal. He currently leads Serie A with 129 crosses. His average crosses per game is incredible with 11.7 a match. The Italian is a danger to any opposing defenders when making a counterattack up the left side of the field with his unbelievable ability to send crosses constantly a contest. The 30-year-old now has 51 crosses (18 accurate) and 25 corners in the last five matches.

Nikola Milenkovic - Bags goalMilenkovic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and four clearances in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Spezia.

ImpactMilenkovic made the most out of his second straight start with a goal early in the match on Sunday. He now has a goal and an assist in the last two games, which is not a common occurrence since he plays as a center-back. The Serbian does need to improve his defensive stats if he wants to stay in the starting lineup for Fiorentina. He only recorded 13 clearances, seven interceptions and 11 tackles (seven won) in the six games he has started in.
