Federico Bernardeschi knows how to celebrate a special occasion.
The versatile Italian attacker, who turned 23 Thursday, gave Fiorentina a 1-0 lead late in the opening half of a Europa League match against Borussia Monchengladbach, smacking a picturesque free-kick that swerved into the top corner.
Federico Bernardeschi is first Italian and 17th player in total to score a Europa League goal on his birthday. #happybirthday @acffiorentina
