Scamacca, signed for £30.5m signing from Sassuolo, was handed his first start and opened his account after just 24 minutes.

The towering Italian headed in following neat play on the left from fellow new arrival Maxwel Cornet.

Jarrod Bowen zipped a second into the bottom corner from distance with 26 minutes to go.

Jakob Bonde's header brought Viborg back in the game, however Michail Antonio restored the two-goal advantage after linking up with Said Benrahma.
