Serie A | Genoa 2-1 Fiorentina: De Rossi drags Viola into danger zone

Genoa finally earned their first victory of the Serie A season with Milutin Osmajic and Junior Messias, pulling Fiorentina right back into the relegation zone.

This was a relegation tussle between two historically big clubs who have struggled in recent years. Daniele De Rossi was under immense pressure after one point from five rounds, forced to do without injured Lorenzo Colombo, Alex Amorim, Djibril Sow, Franz-Ethan Meichtry, Elias Havel and Lorenzo Venturino.

The Viola were revitalised by the return of Paolo Vanoli, beating Venezia and holding Napoli to a draw . Arthur Atta and Fabiano Parisi remained on the treatment table, with squad rotation after international duty.
