Kean’s Stoppage-Time Winner Rescues Fiorentina Against Cremonese
Vanoli said a flu bug ravaged the squad, prompting a late rethink after Dzeko’s ankle swelled.
Overview
- Kean scored in the 92nd minute, finishing after Emil Audero parried Niccolò Fortini’s header from Manor Solomon’s debut cross.
- Edin Dzeko was ruled out on the morning of the match with ankle swelling, leading Paolo Vanoli to add Kean to a bench he was initially set to miss after personal-issue absences from training.
- Vanoli said numerous players and staff, including himself, were laid low by a flu bug during the week.
- Fiorentina briefly ended a club press silence to speak after the late win.
- The result was only Fiorentina’s second league victory of the season, offering limited respite for a side rooted to the bottom.
