Watch: Alphadjo Cisse continues excellent form with last-minute winner for Italy U21s

Alphadjo Cisse’s rise continues, as he scored a potentially big goal for Italy U21s to help them edge past Armenia.

After scoring a hat-trick in a warm-up game a few days ago, Cisse decided the U21 European Championship qualifier off the bench. He came on at the break and turned things around after what was a difficult opening 45 minutes for the Azzurrini.

Firstly, the Milan playmaker hit the woodwork with a powerful curling shot from outside the box. Then, he won a penalty (which Koleosho would miss), and finally he scored the winning goal in the 95th minute with a brilliant left-footed shot into the top corner.

All this came while the 20-year-old was being constantly manhandled by his opponents throughout the second half. Food for thought for Roberto Mancini, who was believed to be considering him for a senior call-up too.
