Fiorentina attacker Federico Chiesa was thrilled with his hat-trick in their 7-1 Coppa Italia quarterfinal triumph over AS Roma.

It marked Chiesa's first treble of his career.

"It was a great game, now we have to focus on this victory, but immediately get our minds on to the weekend and qualifying for Europe," Chiesa told Rai Sport.

“I couldn't even imagine such an evening happening, but I thank everyone close to me and dedicate my hat-trick to them. They stood by me even during the difficult times. I am happy because this Fiorentina side is playing well and we are doing battle for 90 minutes."

He added: “I am very happy to represent the Viola jersey and now we turn our focus towards Udinese."
