    Taiwo Awoniyi

    The Union Berlin forward fired blanks in a 4-0 thrashing at Bayern Munich but it was not for the want of trying.

    Awoniyi missed two chances deemed to be clear-cut opportunities before his substitution on the hour mark.

    This not only saw the Nigeria international fail to add to his 11 Bundesliga goals but also miss out on making history for the club.

    With 16 goals across all competitions for Union, the forward would have gone ahead of Max Kruse as the club’s record goalscorer in the German top flight.

    While there is still time to supplant Kruse, the forward must have rued missing out on achieving the feat at Bayern.

    Ismael Bennacer

    Bennacer netted AC Milan’s only goal in their 1-0 win at relegation-threatened Cagliari on Saturday night.

    Interestingly, it is the second time this season in which Bennacer has scored the winning goal for his side, having come up trumps at Bologna in October.

    Having failed to score in Serie A in the entirety of last season, the Algeria midfielder has netted twice in 2021/22, and both strikes have been timely, to say the least.

    Moses Simon

    Nantes were beaten by outgoing Ligue 1 champions Lille on Saturday, ending the Canaries’ seven-game Ligue 1 unbeaten run at Stade de la Beaujoire.

    Since registering his seventh league assist against Paris Saint-Germain, Simon has fashioned eight chances in three games without success.

    He fashioned four opportunities in the 1-0 defeat by Lille, with one falling into the ‘big chance’ category.

    The defeat saw Nantes drop to ninth in Ligue 1.
