Nikola Krstovic celebrated his second aim and a late penalty – in addition to the woodwork – allowed Lecce to defeat Salernitana and be a part of Juventus in third place.

Each groups have been unbeaten up to now this season, the hosts beating Lazio and combating again from 2-0 down to carry Fiorentina, whereas Salernitana performed two stalemates. Giulio Maggiore and Flavius Daniliuc have been injured, however Boulaye Dia was ignored after his ‘perspective’ because of a failed deadline day transfer to Wolves.

Nikola Krstovic scored on his debut in opposition to Fiorentina, incomes his first begin right here, and instantly made essentially the most of it with one other aim. He acquired in entrance of Norbert Gyomber for a well-placed glancing header on the Valentin Gendrey cross from the precise.

It was one-way visitors and Guillermo Ochoa acquired all the way down to beat away a Lameck Banda daisy-cutter on the close to submit, whereas one other Krstovic header skimmed the crossbar.

But Salernitana threatened an equaliser on the stroke of half-time when an impressed Kastanos slide-rule move launched Antonio Candreva, denied by a determined Wladimiro Falcone response save.

Mohamed Kaba scuffed the end horribly after good work from Banda, however Jovane Cabral thought he had equalised on 74 minutes when his angled drive took a slight deflection and bounced off the within of the far submit.

The sport opened up as time wore on, as Ylber Ramadani’s volley was smothered and one other Cabral strike crushed away by Falcone.

Cabral missed an enormous likelihood to equalise late on, ballooning over the bar from 12 yards after Federico Baschirotto had given it away.

It was a nightmare efficiency for Cabral, as a result of deep into stoppages he used his arm to cost down a Patrick Dorgu shot and it was simply contained in the penalty space. Substitute Gabriel Strefezza stored his cool to transform and seal the win for the Salentini.
