Provides assist in Bologna tilt McKennie assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 win against Bologna.

Impact McKennie got the nod with Leandro Paredes, and Juan Cuadrado partially rested after international duties and exploited it with a well-rounded showing and especially by setting up Dusan Vlahovic with a pinpoint cross from the right flank. It's his first helper of the season, while he has scored once. He logged three shots (one on target), four chances created, seven crosses (three accurate), and five interceptions in the last four starts. He will likely begin on the bench more often with Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot now available.
