Coppa: Piatek poker for Genoa

A star is born, as Krzysztof Piatek scored four goals when Genoa demolished Lecce in the Coppa Italia Third Round tie.

The 23-year-old Polish talent arrived from Cracovia Krakow at a cost of €4m this summer and already looks like a huge bargain.

He single-handedly set up their next Coppa clash with either Virtus Entella or Salernitana in December.

It took all of 70 seconds for Piatek to open his account with a header, then he dribbled round the goalkeeper to finish with his right foot.
