Kean responds to critics after Fiorentina hat-trick against Verona

Italy striker Moise Kean told his critics: ‘They ain’t think I would do it, but I did it’ in a social media post after netting an impressive hat-trick during Fiorentina’s 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.

A treble from the former Juventus and PSG centre-forward helped La Viola to their sixth consecutive victory in Serie A. Raffaele Palladino’s side also have seven wins from their last eight matches across all competitions.

The Italy international pulled off three striker’s finishes within the penalty area to complete his hat-trick against Verona, finishing from close range on his first two attempts, before latching onto a long David De Gea ball over the top for his third in second-half injury time.

Kean: ‘They ain’t think I would do it, but I did it’

“They ain’t think I would do it, but I did it,” Kean wrote in a celebratory post on Instagram in the aftermath of Fiorentina’s 3-1 win over Verona.

Fiorentina now sit in third place in the Serie A table, one point off the league leaders, Napoli. The same is also true of Atalanta, Lazio and Inter, who sit in second, fourth and fifth respectively on goal difference.
