Manolo Gabbiadini confessed to “such a strong emotion” scoring Sampdoria’s winner in the Derby della Lanterna.

His free kick whipped past everyone to secure tonight’s 1-0 victory over rivals Genoa.

“It was such a strong emotion, as I’ve not been in good shape since the start of the season and was full of rage, as I couldn’t give my best,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

The Blucerchiati are now third in Serie A, awaiting Udinese’s result against Parma tomorrow, but Gabbiadini shook off suggestions they are the revelation of this campaign.

“We play one game at a time, are aware of our qualities, but always keep our feet on the ground. At the end of the season we’ll see where we end up.”

There were wild scenes at Marassi, including President Massimo Ferrero running with the players under the curva.

“The President, the Coach, the squad and the whole club fires us up. It is down to everyone and not just an individual.”
