CHE ADAMS equalled a poignant record in Italy after becoming the first Scot to net a double in Serie A for 64 years since Denis Law, also for Torino...exactly a week after the legend passed away.
Tributes poured in for Law last week who was Scotland's only Ballon d'Or winner and remains the joint all-time top international scorer for his country with 30 goals - a record he shares with Kenny Dalglish.
Law had a spell in Italy with Torino and netted ten goals in a season before returning to English football with Manchester United were he would become an icon.
Of those ten goals he scored, he netted two doubles - with the last of them coming in a 3-1 win at Udinese in 1961.

And Scotland star Adams finally matched that record with a brace as he helped Torino beat Cagliari 2-0 and scored his seventh Serie A goal of the season.
Although plenty of Scots have scored in Serie A since Law, including Joe Jordan, Graeme Souness, Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay, Aaron Hickey and Liam Henderson - none have managed a double...until Adams this week.
Jordan did score two goals in a game in Italy, but it was for Verona when they were in Serie B.
Torino manager, former Rangers player Paolo Vanoli, said: "I have always believed in the qualities of Che Adams and his work rate has been so impressive since he joined us."
