Five key stats from week 10 in Serie A - how Milan fail to learn from their mistakes

4. Krhin anchors Bologna

Bologna have at last begun to recover from a disastrous start to the campaign, winning for the second straight week 3-0 over Cagliari after having gone without a victory for the first eight rounds.

At the centre of their revival has been a pair of clean sheets, welcome sights given the Rossoblu shipped an enormous 22 goals through week eight, the two efforts anchored by holding midfielder Rene Krhin.

The Slovenia international epitomised no-nonsense defending in their latest triumph with seven clearances, adding three interceptions, two tackles, and a trio of headed duels won in the penalty area to aid a back line that has seen plenty of instability.

His presence in the line-up has proven vital as Bologna now look to slowly distance themselves from the drop zone, and he looks set to become a fixture in the starting eleven, having shown maturity beyond his 23 years of age.
