Premier League news: Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland bucking the trend Premier League news: Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland bucking the trend
Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Not clinical enough in draw Calvert-Lewin registered three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Calvert-Lewin was prolific in activity Saturday but ineffective in the final third: he was denied three times with his on target efforts by Djordje Petrovic in one-on-one or close-range chances, he was subbed after 89 minutes. Leeds signed him from Everton last month to boost their finishing strength but his conversion rate has remained frustratingly low given the chances he's been involved in. From four starts he has netted just one.

Brenden Aaronson - Five shots in Cherries draw Aaronson had five shots (one on goal), one cross (none accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...
Impact Aaronson was active but quiet in terms of direct returns Saturday: he logged five tackles, placed one inaccurate cross, had the most shots in the match for his side (five total, one on target) and picked up a yellow card. He also featured in the defensive wall that was breached by Antoine Semenyo's goal scoring free kick, drawing criticism for his positioning. In past games, Aaronson has been more of a workhorse: his underlying metrics (shots, key passes, dribbles) show consistent attacking intent though low end-product (goals/assists). He currently has no goals or assists for Leeds this season.

Joe Rodon - Goal in solid all around performance Rodon scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Rodon powered a header from Sean Longstaff's corner into the far post Saturday in the 37th minute to get himself onto the scoresheet. His core defensive contributions were material; making five clearances, two tackles, an interception, a block and winning six of the seven duels he engaged in. He has participated in two clean sheets this season and as demonstrated in this match, he potentially can find the net through getting on the end of set piece plays.

Sean Longstaff - Goal and assist in stellar outing Longstaff scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and seven chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Longstaff delivered a standout performance Saturday where he tallied a goal and provided an assist. His activity all over the field was noticeable: 68 touches, 13 duels with 10 won, six tackles, three clearances, and a pass success rate of 87 percent (34/39). He has now earned a regular starting spot in midfield; with his blend of box-to-box capability, set-piece involvement and now goalscoring threat he is likely to feature in more goal involvement as the season progresses.

Karl Darlow - Concedes two in Cherries draw Darlow recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Darlow put in an undistinguishing performance Saturday. The Cherries fired a total of 12 shots, he made three saves and a clearing punch, conceding two. The first was via a free kick that he could have got to quicker. He is usually on the bench deferring to choice starter, Lucas Perri. Perri has been out with a quadricep injury; the injury has allowed Darlow to make three consecutive starts where he has not delivered any clean sheets and conceded five. It is expected that Darlow will be relegated back to the bench for Leeds next clash at home to Spurs when Perri should be fit to return.

Ryan Christie - Unimpactful in draw Christie recorded two shots (none on goal) and two crosses (none accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Leeds United.
Impact Christie was not at his best Saturday, he didn't manage to place any shots on target and placed two crosses, none being accurate. He was subbed after 60 minutes. It was his first start of the season, but he typically is deployed from the bench in most matches. In his past 10 games he's only registered one goal and an assist. The midfielder was out for the latter part of last season and the summer with a groin injury, he is still finding his feet and working to earn a regular starting spot now his fitness has returned.
