Fiorentina thrash Udinese 5-1, Kean ends drought with a brace | OneFootball

Fiorentina finally breaks the ice in the league, and does so in the most convincing way possible. At the Franchi, it ends 5-1 against Udinese, in a match that was practically decided right away and managed authoritatively by the Viola, who show important signs after some complicated weeks.

Goal drought over after 16 matches: Fiorentina crushes Udinese 5-1 at the Franchi, Kean returns to scoring with a brace!

The episode that changes the game comes after just seven minutes: Okoye stops a shot from Kean with his hands outside the area and is sent off, leaving Udinese with ten men for almost the entire match. From that moment, the match takes a clear direction. Fiorentina breaks the deadlock in the 21st minute with Mandragora, who does well to find the corner with a right-footed shot from outside the box. Shortly after, Gudmundsson doubles the lead, while Ndour closes the first half at 3-0 with a header in the box.

In the second half, Moise Kean takes center stage. The striker first scores by putting in a rebound from Sava, then attacks the space on a long ball from Dodô. In between, Udinese’s consolation goal comes from Solet.

Noteworthy are the captain’s armband on De Gea and Vanoli’s change of formation to a 4-4-2. A victory that brings Fiorentina to 9 points and restores confidence, with good performances also from players who had struggled so far, such as Gudmundsson, Fagioli, and Parisi.
