Assists twice against Espanyol Plata made two assists, had three shots (one on target), created three chances and sent in six crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Plata had one of his best performances of the campaign so far, making two assists, one each half, and almost scoring his side's third goal during the closing stages of the contest, seeing the post preventing what would've been his first career La Liga goal. With four assists over 20 appearances (13 starts) this season, the winger will try to keep up with the strong play during Saturday's visit to Elche.

Active off bench versus Valencia Plata had three shots (two on target) and made four tackles (three won) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 win over Valencia.

Given what was seen during the final stretch of the contest, it wouldn't be a surprise if both Plata and Larin are included in the starting XI for next Sunday's visit to Real Sociedad.

Logs six crosses in win Plata logged six inaccurate crosses and made two interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 win over Qatar.

Impact Plata continues his solid play since returning to the lineup for Valladolid as well, with two assists on nine crosses in his last three starts for club and country. If the in-form Enner Valencia (two goals) stays in the lineup following a knee issue, than Plata could continue to be an important threat from the wing in a team that's likely to be an underdog in other matchups.
