Dusan Vlahovic once again took the lead role at Fiorentina on Monday. The popular top striker first saw panenka fail against Genoa (6-0 win), but made up for it after the break with a fantastic striker’s goal. Vlahovic appeared to be apologizing for the missed penalty when celebrating that goal, although Arsenal fans massively explain his ‘goodbye kisses’ on Twitter as a transfer announcement. The Serb is in the very emphatic interest of the gunners. For Fiorentina, it was the biggest league win in thirty years. It hadn’t happened since the 7-1 win against Ancona Matelica in 1992 la Viola won by six goals.
So it went wrong for Vlahovic in the eleventh minute with a penalty kick, but it didn’t hurt the supreme Fiorentina on Monday. The striker was released a few minutes later by a nice cross ball, shot at goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and saw Álvaro Odriozola score in the rebound: 1-0. The home team continued cheerfully and scored after half an hour via Giacomo Bonaventura, who saw his header saved and could not possibly miss in the post-punch: 2-0.
There’s the man of the moment! ?? Vlahovic finishes this off great, but Bonaventura’s pass is also of great class ?? Number 17 and perhaps last of the season for the coveted striker in the shirt of Fiorentina?#ZiggoSport #SeriesA #FiorentinaSpezia pic.twitter.com/ppCIV0XMD3

Shortly before half-time, Cristiano Biraghi made it 4-0 with a fantastic free kick from great distance. Vlahovic got his desired goal as mentioned in the second half. After a good high pass from the back, the striker still had to do the necessary: Vlahovic plucked the ball wonderfully from the air, to take it exactly in the barrel and tap it over the Sirigu who had come out: 5-0. Lucas Torreira, who was hired from Arsenal, put the 6-0 final score on the scoreboard with a simple header at the far post.

Even before the start of the second half, Vlahovic already apologized to the Fiorentina crowd for a long time.
Vlahovic coming out for the second half. I mean this would be a bizarre thing to do after a penalty miss when you’re 3-0 up surely.pic.twitter.com/Ry8MJsoFYU
