Jordi Masip - Keeps clean sheet in draw Masip made four saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Osasuna.

Impact Masip put together a solid performance Sunday, as he made four saves and kept a clean sheet. It marks his third consecutive match with a clean sheet, and he has made eight saves during that stretch. He has just two clean sheets in his 13 other appearances, so it appears him and his defense are hitting their stride. He faces a slightly more difficult matchup Saturday at Real Betis who have scored 27 goals in 21 league matches this season.

He also created two chances for just the third time this season, and contributed his second most crosses this season with six (three accurate). To top it off he picked up a yellow card in the 36th minute, his first since moving to Spain. He has looked dangerous on the attack in his first three La Liga matches (all starts), and is a good bet to record more goal contributions soon if he continues producing like he did Sunday.
