“It is the debut I always dreamed of,” Lirola told Sky Sport Italia.

“The emotions I felt were huge when I scored and put the game on the right track for my team. I ran into the space and believed in myself to the end.”

Spaniard Lirola arrived at Sassuolo on loan from Juventus, but did he expect his new team to be this good?

“People had talked highly of them and I am very happy to be in such a strong squad. In training we work very hard to then apply those mechanisms in the match situation, so we follow the Coach’s orders.”
