Scores winner vs. Fulham

O'Shea scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Fulham.

The defender is known for his two-way upside since he can be a threat in set-piece situations and with his attacking runs on the left flank. O'Shea has just one goal this season, but he's also averaging 0.8 chances, 1.2 crosses, 1.3 tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 6.2 clearances per game.
