- The Algeria international was making his 18th appearance in all competitions for the Italian side
- Ghezzal starred for 68 minutes of the match at Stadio Artemio Franchi

The Leicester City winger, who joined the Florence club on loan until the end of the season in September, has made 18 appearances in all competitions for the Italian outfit.

Ghezzal, 28, netted a brilliant free-kick in Wednesday's 3-1 win at Lecce and, on Sunday night, the Algeria international delivered another impressive display in a 2-0 success over Torino.

An own goal from Brazilian defender Lyanco put I Viola ahead after just 120 seconds before, in the 75th minute, Franck Ribéry played in Patrick Cutrone to double the home side's lead.

Rachid Ghezzal scored a stunning free-kick in a win for Fiorentina in July.

That success at Stadio Artemio Franchi elevates Giuseppe Iachini's two-time Italian champions up to 12th ahead of facing Inter Milan at San Siro on Wednesday night (8:45pm kick-off).

Defender Filip Benković, meanwhile, did not appear in Bristol City's 1-0 defeat at Swansea City in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday, but Andy King did feature for Huddersfield Town.

On Friday, the Foxes favourite's 13th appearance for Town ended in a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Friday - a result which all but secures their second-tier status.

In Belgium, on the other hand, midfielder Kamal Sowah could feature in OH Leuven’s Proximus League second-leg tie against Beerschot on 2 August (6pm kick-off). They lost the first leg 1-0.
