Montella hails Salah in Fiorentina triumph over Spurs

Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella hailed Mohamed Salah's performance in their 2-0 win over Europa League opponents Tottenham.

Fiorentina progress 3-1 on aggregate.

"In the first half we were under pressure from Tottenham, even if they didn't create many scoring opportunities," said Montella.

"After the break we came out with a different attitude and our individuals caused them huge problems.

"In midfield we had to do without Borja Valero and then lost Mati Fernandez, so that was a blow, but everyone worked very hard."

Mario Gomez and Salah were on target for the 2-0 victory.

"Salah is a player who, even if he has lulls in the game, is devastating in the final 40-50 metres."
