How did he do on Matchday 4?
Pretty well. The 23-year-old tapped home the opener for Frankfurt in their 2-2 draw against Freiburg , putting him level with Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts with four goals.
He has an xG Efficiency of 1.05 so far in 2026/27, meaning he’s scored one goal more than statistically expected given the quality of chances he’s had.
In addition to his finishing, he showed that he can be a valuable asset in terms of his work rate: Ebnoutalib covered 11.29 km and made 18 sprints (both the most for any Frankfurt player), much of which came from pressing defenders high up the pitch.
