Fiorentina continued their strong start to the season on Saturday with a 2-1 win at Genoa which moves them level with Serie A’s leading teams.

Riccardo Saponara’s beautifully struck opener on the hour and a Giacomo Bonaventura goal a minute from the end were enough for Vincenzo Italiano’s team to run out winners for the third match in a row.


The Tuscan outfit are fourth, level on nine points with Jose Mourinho’s leaders Roma, AC Milan and Napoli, who are all yet to play this weekend.
