Loan Watch: Doumbia bags brace to finish season with 18 goals

ELK

Our columnist rounds up the action from Roma players out on loan around Italy and the continent from the past week...

Forward Seydou Doumbia was substituted on in the 64th minute of Basel's 3-1 victory over Grasshoppers on Sunday, scoring twice in quick succession late on to seal three points for Basel.

In the 85th minute Doumbia was played in on goal before coolly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper to break the deadlock.

Mere minutes later Doumbia put the result beyond doubt, finishing a spectacular give-and-go into the bottom left corner of the goal from the right side of the box.

Doumbia now has 18 goals and one assist in 24 league appearances this season, including six goals and one assist in his last seven matches.
