Overview
- Mandragora put Fiorentina ahead from the spot before Volpato and Muharemovic overturned the match, with Koné adding a third.
- The result keeps Fiorentina on 6 points without a Serie A victory after 14 matches and marks a third straight loss across competitions.
- Sassuolo climbs to around 20 points, with coach Fabio Grosso sent off after protests over an annulled Volpato goal.
- Vanoli points to defensive lapses and midfield positioning issues and has pressed Fagioli and Nicolussi Caviglia to play forward with more discipline.
- Injuries continue to bite — Gosens and Fazzini were unavailable — as pressure grows in a tense club environment shaped by intense fan scrutiny and President Rocco Commisso’s health concerns.
