Southampton attacker Manolo Gabbiadini has helped Italy to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Uruguay in a friendly encounter on Wednesday night.

Gabbiadini came on the pitch with 10 minutes of the game remaining, with the score at 1-0.

The Saints forward made an immediate impact by providing the shot on target which led to strike partner Eder finding the back of the net. Daniele De Rossi then sealed the victory for Italy on the 92nd minute by converting from the penalty spot after attacker Stephan El Shaarawy was fouled in the penalty area.
