LOAN WATCH: Chelsea's Salah lands killer double for Fiorentina

Mohamed Salah scored a sublime brace for Fiorentina on Thursday night.

The Egyptian winger, who was loaned from Chelsea when they signed Juan Cuadrado on deadline day, led La Viola to a 2-1 victory over Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final which ended a 47-game unbeaten home run for the Bianconeri in Turin.

Salah, 22, opened the scoring with a brilliant individual run before unleashing a rocket in the 11th minute before Fernando Llorente levelled for the Serie A champions in the 24th minute.

However, it was Salah again in the 56th minute who hit the back of the net with a calm finish to give Fiorentina a memorable victory ahead of the return leg on April 7.

Since arriving at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, Salah has scored six goals in seven appearances in all competitions.
