Four crosses in loss

Xhaka registered four crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Analysis: Xhaka recorded four crosses in Sunday's loss, resulting in three accurate crosses and two chances created. It was a decent day for the veteran as he was one of the only Sunderland players to get anything going on the attack. He has yet to record a goal contribution in the Premier League this season after having seven through 34 matches last season.

Three shots and four corners in loss

Xhaka generated three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Brighton.

Analysis: Xhaka was unable to prevent his side from falling to a 2-0 defeat to Brighton at home. This included the last 30 minutes played against 10 men. All three of Xhaka's shots came from distance after the red card but he was only able to find the target with one of his efforts. He attempted seven crosses in the game including four corners but was unable to complete any.
