Scores in Sunday's thriller
Calo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (zero accurate) and nine corners in Sunday's 4-4 draw versus Atalanta.
Analysis: Calo found the back of the net in the 48th minute Sunday, a strike assisted by Fares Ghedjemis which tied the match at 3-3. It marked his third goal of the season, all of which have come in the last four matches. He also tied season highs in crosses (11) and corners (nine) yet he did not manage a single accurate cross and he created just one chance after creating at least three in each of the first seven matches of the season. It's been a great start to the season for Calo, and his creative production suggests more assists should be on the horizon for the midfielder.
