His minutes have dipped slightly over the last two matches, down to 64 and 61, as his workload gets managed around international duty.

The midfielder also contributed defensively with two interceptions across his 80 minutes, highlighting his activity on both sides of the ball. The goal marked Haraldsson's first goal contribution of the Ligue 1 campaign, and his combination of attacking involvement and defensive work should keep him firmly established in Davide Ancelotti's starting XI.
