BrentfordLogs assist
Ouattara assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Monday's 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Ouattara created four chances, so it was good to see him get rewarded with at least one assist. He's an important creator for Brentford and has a great matchup to get one or more assists against Leeds. The lower-table side has given up 48 goals so far through 30 EPL matches.
Six crosses in 0-0 draw
Ouattara registered two shots (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Ouattara was unable to provide an assist or goal despite six crosses and two shots. He was able to put one of his two shots on target, his first in four games, but he did put his last two shots on target in the back of the net. This is the third time he has attempted six crosses this season.
Assists opener in 4-3 win
Ouattara assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 4-3 win against Burnley.
Analysis: Ouattara assisted Mikkel Damsgaard for the opening goal of the game, which was his second of the season. He has scored twice and provided both of his Premier League assists in the last five games, all three games of which have been away. He created two chances or more for the sixth time this season, and this was the second game in a row he has reached this number.
Creates a chance
Ouattara took an off target shot, crossed three times (one accurate) and created a chance during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal
Analysis: Ouattara was held off the scoresheet while finishing with the second most crosses and chances created on the team. The attacker has three goal involvements to go along with four shots, three chances created and 10 crosses over his last three appearances.
Two goal contributions in win
Ouattara scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Newcastle United.
Analysis: Quattara's precise cross setup the first Brentford goal Saturday before he scored the match's decisive goal late in the second half of a 3-2 road win over Newcastle. In addition to his goal and assist, the forward led the Brentford attack with five cross attempts (one accurate). In four appearances (two starts) since returning from AFCON, Quattara has created five chances from six shots (three on goal) and 13 crosses (three accurate) while scoring twice and assisting once.
Lone goal of match
Ouattara scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Analysis: Ouattara was the hero of Sunday's match for Brentford, with the attacker scoring just ahead of halftime for the lone goal of the match and to earn a win. This marks his first goal since returning from AFCON three games ago, with his last goal being Nov. 29 against Burnley. He is up to four goals this season in 18 appearances (13 starts).
Back with Bees
Ouattara is heading back to Brentford after completing his international duty with Burkina Faso at the AFCON and should be back available for next week's Premier League clash against Chelsea on Jan. 17.
Analysis: Ouattara was eliminated with Burkina Faso from the AFCON and will now head back to Brentford and should be back available next week's Premier League clash against Chelsea. The attacking midfielder has been an undisputed starter for the Bees and will claim back that role once back available with the squad.
Departing for AFCON
Ouattara is departing Brentford to participate in AFCON with Burkina Faso.
Analysis: Ouattara is putting his time with Brentford on pause while he goes to AFCON for at least three weeks. The forward has been a consistent starter for each of the last three months, and will be a major blow to the starting XI, especially with Reiss Nelson (undisclosed) struggling for fitness.
Scores and wins penalty in 3-1 win
Ouattara scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Burnley.
Analysis: Ouattara won the penalty, which opened the scoring for Brentford in the second half. He then also scored the third goal, which sealed the victory in the 92nd minute. The winger has now started the last six games in a row and has scored twice in that time. Overall, he has started nine games, scoring three. He took three shots, which was only the third time this season that he has reached that amount.
Six crosses and a shot
Ouattara registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.
Analysis: Ouattara set a season high with six crosses, but he has yet to land one accurately this season. He also registered a shot for a fourth consecutive game but this marked his second straight match without landing one on target. Additionally, this was the fourth straight game and fourth time this season that he completed double digits in passes.
Nets Saturday
Ouattara scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Liverpool.
Analysis: Ouattara found the back of the net early during Saturday's win. The winger found room on the break and slotted a nice finish. The winger has found his footing with Brentford and is becoming a productive part of the team. There's still some doubt around Ouattara's upside in a Brentford team that has limited attacking output. Ouattara does have the pace and talent to finish when given chances on the break.
Five shots in victory
Ouattara generated five shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 2-0 victory over West Ham United.
Analysis: Ouattara featured in the attacking rotation and made bursts into the penalty area, drawing defensive attention that opened space for his teammates. Although he didn't register a goal or assist, his movement and energy added a dimension to Brentford's counter-attacking game as he contributed to two season highs with five shot attempts and three chances created.
Appears from bench
Ouattara recorded two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.
Analysis: Ouattara dropped back to the bench after starting the last match, appearing for 22 minutes against City. He would record two crosses, a quiet performance in his short stint on the field. He has now started three games in six appearances, bagging a goal in just over 300 minutes of play.
