Scotland international Che Adams scored a goal from almost half the pitch Turin ended a series of poor form that could have been won Empoli 1-0 in Series A on Friday.
He replaced Adams Antonio Sanabria in the 64th minute and scored a goal almost immediately. With 70 points remaining, he spotted the Empoli goalkeeper outside his penalty area line and shot the ball over his head from the center circle.

The goal spectacularly ended his eight-game personal drought and eased the pressure on coach Paolo Vanoli.
The Turin club was undefeated in its first five league matches and was at the top of the table for some time. However, since the end of October, he has won only one of 10 matches.
Friday’s victory lifted Torino to 12th place, two places and three points behind Empoli.
