La Viola retakes top spot
Print Edition
Fiorentina recaptured top spot in Serie A from Inter Milan yesterday with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Frosinone that sees it temporarily lead the league ahead of Napoli鈥檚 Genoa clash.
Paulo Sousa鈥檚 men grabbed all their goals in the first half, comfortably dominating the newly-promoted minnows at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
The Portuguese coach opted to make several changes to his starting XI, resting leading scorer Nikola Kalinic in order to allow Mati Fernandez to play behind Khouma Babacar.
Frosinone handed goalkeeper Massimo Zappino his top flight debut, and La Viola would ensure he was heavily involved in the action.
Yet after making an early save from Babacar, the 34-year-old was unable to prevent a cross from Ante Rebic bouncing in off the frame of his goal following a deflection.
If there was some fortune to Fiorentina鈥檚 opener, there was little doubt of the quality of the second as Gonzalo Rodriguez netted with a sublime back-heeled effort.
Babacar would get on the scoresheet with a chipped penalty before Mario Suarez stole the ball and slotted past Zappino with ease.
After the break, Fiorentina understandably eased the pressure on its mismatched opponent, eventually allowing Frosinone midfielder Alessandro Frara a late consolation goal.
On Saturday, Inter downed 10-man AS Roma 1-0.
