The 4-0 win over Manchester City was Viacrio’s 50th consecutive Premier League start, having played in every league fixture since his €20m move from Empoli last summer.

The 28-year-old had also lined up as a starter for the Italy national team in the 3-1 loss to France, replacing Gianluigi Donnarumma after the Azzurri no.1 dropped out with a stomach bug.
