Inter striker Edin Dzeko passed up some decent opportunities to score against Venezia yesterday evening, but he came good right at the end according to Italian media.
As Italian news outlet L’Interista argue, the Bosnian’s decisiveness on the last-gasp winner showed that he still has the predatory edge needed, while the player ratings in Italian media lauded his clinical header in their player ratings.
Dzeko had a few missed half-chances throughout the match, the most glaring of which was probably failing to react to bury a spilled effort by Venezia keeper Luca Lezzerini.
However, the 35-year-old as much as answered his critics with how he took the header from Denzel Dumfries’s lofted delivery into the box in the last minute before added time, rescuing all three points for his team.
TuttoMercatoWeb still only found Dzeko’s display worthy of a 6/10 grade, while the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport awarded him 6.5/10 scores and L’Interista and the Gazzetta dello Sport awarded him 7/10.
