Scores winner off bench
Pedersen scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.
Analysis: Pedersen checked in during the 59th minute and wasted no time making his mark, needing just 11 minutes to deliver the go-ahead goal as he crashed the far post to meet Duvan Zapata's clipped cross and powered a header home in the 70th minute to put Torino up 2-1 for good. He wrapped up his 31-minute shift with two shots (one on target), and added a chance created. Pedersen had been a regular in the starting XI for Toro before dealing with back issues and now looks poised to regain that role down the stretch.
Will be back against Sassuolo
Pedersen (back) "isn't in tip-top shape but will bite the bullet to return Friday," coach Roberto D'Aversa stated.
Analysis: Pedersen has recuperated from a back issue that cost him the last two fixtures and will compete with Valentino Lazaro at right-back. He has swung in at least three crosses in his last four appearances, amassing 18 deliveries (two accurate), providing two assists and notching seven chances created, three tackles (one won) and two clearances during that stretch.
