Bobby Duncan: Former Liverpool youngster scores brace for Fiorentina Under-19s as they beat Bologna
Former Liverpool youngster Bobby Duncan got off the mark for new side Fiorentina with a brace for their Under-19s in a 6-3 win over Bologna.
Duncan sealed a controversial exit away from Anfield earlier this month after becoming frustrated over his lack of first-team opportunities with the Premier League giants.
Prior to that move Duncan's agent had sensationally accused Liverpool of 'holding him against his will and damaging his mental health', and also 'bullying’ the player by not allowing him to leave.
He has made a good start to life in Italy though, impressing on his debut in a friendly against Perugia last week before scoring a header and a coolly-taken penalty on Sunday for the Under-19s.

The 18-year-old, who is a cousin of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, posted a picture of himself with Fiorentina owner Rocco B. Commisso after the convincing defeat of Bologna.
Duncan, who scored 30 times in 43 matches for the Reds youth sides last season, is yet to feature for Fiorentina's senior team.
Interestingly, the forward was named as a youth signing rather than a senior addition upon joining the Serie A outfit.
