Loan Watch: Fourth clean sheet in the last five matches for Skorupski

Goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski put in yet another man of the match performance on Sunday as Empoli soundly defeated Pescara by a score of 4-0. The Polish international had six saves in the contest.

Skorupski now has 40 saves in 10 matches started this season, which averages out to four saves per match. His 40 saves are good enough to place him sixth among Serie A goalkeepers.

Additionally, Skorupski is tied for the league lead in clean sheets at five. With a tough home matchup against Fiorentina next weekend though, it will be a challenge for Skorupski to keep his clean sheet streak going.
