Leeds UnitedRecords three crosses
Aaronson recorded two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Aaronson would manage a few stats in his start Sunday, working to make three crosses and two shots in his 45 minutes of play. He has now started in four straight league performances, although he is without a goal contribution during that span, remaining at seven this season, and his last coming Jan. 7.
Three shots, fails to score
Aaronson registered three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Manchester City.
Analysis: Aaronson would earn three shots and see one of them hit the target, although he would still not find the back of the net. He remains with four goals and three assists this season in 27 appearances, although he has gone nine straight games without a goal contribution.
Scores twice, leaves with injury
Aaronson scored two goals but was subbed off with an apparent muscular issue during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Newcastle.
Analysis: Aaronson was unable to continue playing after finding the back of the net from both inside and outside the box in the 32nd and 79th minutes, respectively, of this match. It remains unclear whether the attacker picked up a significant problem, so he'll attempt to recover ahead of the upcoming FA Cup and EPL activity. However, the event of his absence could be a crucial blow to the squad, while his substitute in Wednesday's clash Wilfried Gnonto could be a possible beneficiary of the playing time he would miss.
Scores one goal in draw
Aaronson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
Analysis: Aaronson opened the scoring with a well-taken finish to record his second goal of the season. Across his last eight starts, he has contributed to four goals, totaling two goals and two assists from 14 shot attempts and 10 chances created.
Assists equaliser in 1-1 draw
Aaronson assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and five chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sunderland.
Analysis: Aaronson provided his third assist of the season and his second in four games as he connected with Dominic Calvert-Lewin early in the second half to bring the game back to 1-1. The midfielder also had a shots tremendously cleared off the line by Trai Hume to deny a certain goal for the American. He created five chances in the game, which is his most by far in any game this season.
Assists against Liverpool
Aaronson assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Liverpool.
Analysis: Aaronson provided an assist on his only chance created during Saturday's draw. The attacking midfielder made the most of limited chances, shooting once and creating one chance to go with the assist. Aaronson will have to be efficient with limited minutes even with Leeds finding form in the last week.
Provides assist in loss
Aaronson assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 loss versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Aaronson received Noah Okafor's recovery in the Forest half and slipped Lukas Nmecha through for the opening goal in the 13th minute. He linked well in transition but Leeds United lost control once Forest equalized two minutes later. This assist was his first of the season, and he now has two goal contributions in 11 appearances for Leeds United this campaign.
Nets key goal in win
Aaronson scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 2-1 win over West Ham United.
Analysis: Aaronson pounced on a loose ball in the box to score the opening goal Friday in Leeds United's 2-1 triumph over West Ham United. The goal was the forward's first of the season. Across his last four appearances (four starts), Aaronson has registered on shot on target in each appearance.
Five shots in Cherries draw
Aaronson had five shots (one on goal), one cross (none accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.
Analysis: Aaronson was active but quiet in terms of direct returns Saturday: he logged five tackles, placed one inaccurate cross, had the most shots in the match for his side (five total, one on target) and picked up a yellow card. He also featured in the defensive wall that was breached by Antoine Semenyo's goal scoring free kick, drawing criticism for his positioning. In past games, Aaronson has been more of a workhorse: his underlying metrics (shots, key passes, dribbles) show consistent attacking intent though low end-product (goals/assists). He currently has no goals or assists for Leeds this season.
