Resurgent Salah gives Fiorentina win at Inter
3 March 2015 12:01 AM GMT
Mohamed Salah, enjoying a new lease of life since his move from Chelsea, scored again to give his side a 1-0 win at Inter Milan on Sunday despite finishing with nine men due to injuries. An inspired Felipe Anderson performance, including a majestic opening goal, led Lazio to a 3-0 win at Sassuolo and moved them two points behind third-placed Napoli, who lost 0-1 at Torino, as the race for Champions League places warmed up.
The weekend’s matches all kicked off 15 minutes late in a show of solidarity, organised by the Italian Players’ Association (AIC), for bottom-of-the-table Parma, whose game at Genoa was called off because of the club’s financial crisis. Parma’s players have not been paid all season. Salah, who made only 13 Premier League appearances, mostly from the bench, in his year at Chelsea, came on just before halftime for the injured Khouma Babacar and settled a disappointing game with his third Serie A goal in four outings.
