BELGRADE (Reuters) - Twice axed by former coaches for possessing what they called a wrong mindset, forward Adem Ljajic appeared to have redeemed himself in Serbia's 2-0 win at Albania which the Balkan nation hopes will be a turning point for the team.

Having lost any hope of qualifying for Euro 2016, Serbia had only pride to play for against the Albanians and they salvaged it thanks to Ljajic's most impressive performance of his troubled international career.
