Mallorca form and stats

1-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Mallorca in their La Liga matches away.

Mallorca delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Barcelona (placed 3rd) in their previous game. Which player has bagged at least one goal three matches in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Muriqi and that is quite the feat! The attacker Muriqi got a match rating of 8.61 in that game. Muriqi scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Girona wasn't a success with a 3-5 loss.
