Serie A | Fiorentina 1-2 Cagliari: Palestra inspirational in relegation battle

Cagliari surprised a Fiorentina side in mourning with a second consecutive victory, as Marco Palestra scored one and assisted another for Semih Kilicsoy.

They were on a strong spell of form, unbeaten in four, beating Cremonese and Bologna around draws with Lazio and Milan. Moise Kean continued to struggle with an ankle injury, joining Fabiano Parisi and Tariq Lamptey on the treatment table, but new signings Jack Harrison and Giovanni Fabbian were eager to impress, and Roberto Piccoli faced his old club.
