Veretout showed his set-piece specialist credentials
Jordan Veretout may not have enjoyed his spell in the Premier League with Aston Villa, but he is proving to be a quality option in the middle of the park for Fiorentina in Serie A.
'La Viola' have been in excellent form since the passing of club captain Davide Astori, winning six of their seven Serie A games, with the only blot on their copybook a 0-0 draw with SPAL.
Despite it being big-hitters Lazio in town on Wednesday night, Fiorentina continued their fine form, with Veretout at the double.
First, the former Aston Villa man curled a wonderful free-kick over the wall and beyond the diving Thomas Strakosha in the home goal to open the scoring with 16 minutes gone.
