Sunday 1 November 2015 23:14, UK
Fiorentina claimed a handsome 4-1 victory over Frosinone at the Stadio Artemio Franchi to move top of Serie A, while AC Milan end Lazio perfect home run.
The match was settled by half-time, with the hosts scoring all four of their goals during a dominant opening 45 minutes.
Ante Rebic opening the scoring after 24 minutes and five minutes later Gonzalo Rodriguez netted number two. Kouma Babacar stepped up to take a 31st-minute penalty as the visitors crumbled before Mario Suarez made it four.
Frosinone pulled one back through Alessandro Frara in the 87th minute, but it was far too little too late.
Napoli missed a chance to join La Viola and Inter Milan at the top after being held to a goalless draw at Genoa, which left them fourth, while Sassuolo failed to build on their midweek win over Juventus as they drew 0-0 at Udinese.
Struggling Bologna struck three times in the second half to beat Atalanta 3-0 and give new coach Roberto Donadoni a winning start to his tenure.
Donadoni this week replaced Delio Rossi, with Bologna having lost eight of their first 10 Serie A games.
Emanuele Giaccherini's 15-yard strike put them ahead in the 52nd minute before Mattia Destro doubled the hosts' lead six minutes later and substitute Franco Brienza made it 3-0 five minutes from time as Bologna climbed to 18th place.
Hellas Verona were left still searching for their first league win this season as they drew 0-0 at Carpi.
The result at the Braglia stadium left both teams on six points, level at the bottom of the standings.
In the late game, AC Milan ended Lazio's perfect run at home this season with a 3-1 win at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Rossoneri took a 25th-minute lead through midfielder Andrea Bertolacci before Philippe Mexes made it 2-0 early in the second half with a header almost immediately after coming on as a substitute.
Carlos Bacca struck his team's third in the 79th minute before Lazio pulled one back when substitute Ricardo Kishna scored with six minutes remaining.
