Torino 3 - 1 Fiorentina : Three quick-fire goals earn Torino Serie A victory over Fiorentina



Posted Monday, August 31, 2015 by PA

Torino struck three times in the space of 10 minutes to clinch a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Fiorentina in Turin.

Marcos Alonso put the visitors ahead in the 10th minute but the hosts hit back after the restart with goals from Emiliano Moretti, Fabio Quagliarella and Daniele Baselli to seal the win.

The victory, Toro's second straight following their 2-1 win at Frosinone last week, has lifted the Granata to second place in the standings, level on six points with Chievo, Inter Milan, Sassuolo and Palermo.

Fiorentina, who had won 2-1 against AC Milan in the opening weekend, struck first.

Torino goalkeeper Daniele Padelli kept out Nikola Kalinic's header from Borja Valero's cross but Alonso was first to the rebound and struck the ball into the back of the net.

The hosts equalised in the 67th minute when Moretti beat Fiorentina goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu with a left-footed shot from 12 yards.

Two minutes later and Torino went in front for the first time when Bruno Peres set up Quagliarella in the box and his diagonal strike beat Tatarusanu.

Toro wrapped up the win in the 77th minute when Baselli found space on the right and struck a right-footed shot from 20 yards into the back of the net.
