Scotland international Che Adams produced a moment of brilliance as Torino edged Empoli 1-0 in a crucial Serie A clash on Friday. The victory marked a turning point for Torino, ending a poor run of form that had seen them struggle for results in recent weeks.
Adams, who came off the bench in the 64th minute to replace Antonio Sanabria, wasted no time in making an impact. Just six minutes later, the forward spotted Empoli’s goalkeeper positioned off his line. From inside the center circle, Adams unleashed a perfectly judged lob that sailed over the keeper and into the net. The audacious strike not only ended his personal eight-game goal drought but also gave Torino a much-needed boost. The goal and subsequent victory relieved some pressure on Torino coach Paolo Vanoli, whose team had stumbled after a strong start to the season.
