Sub Adams scores winner to take Torino to top

Scotland striker Che Adams came off the bench to score Torino's winner in a 3-2 victory over Verona that takes his new side to the top of Serie A.

The 28-year-old summer arrival from Southampton found himself a substitute after failing to score in two starts since scoring the winner against Atalanta.

Head coach Paolo Vanoli, the former Rangers defender, had gone with a strike force of Antonia Sanabria and Duvan Zapata and both scored in the first half either side of Grigoris Kastanos' goal for the hosts.

However, Adams fired home 12 minutes after being introduced on 67 minutes before Daniel Mosquera reduced the deficit in stoppage-time for Verona.

It puts Torino, unbeaten this season, top by a point, although Napoli, now with Scotland duo Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay in midfield, will overtake them should they win away to Juventus on Saturday.

Udinese, who lie second, visit Roma on Sunday.
