Scores own goal versus Torino Thiaw had one shot on goal, made one tackle, one clearance and one interception and scored an own goal during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Torino.

Impact Thiaw had a subpar performance from a fantasy standpoint not only for the lack of defensive numbers but also for scoring an own goal to open the scoring for the opposition in a very unfortunate play at the half-hour mark. The center-back begins his third Serie A campaign as the first choice to be Fikayo Tomori's partner at the heart of the defense but competition for a starting spot looks heavier now, so his performances during upcoming matches could be watched closely by the coaching staff.
