Overview
- Rolando Mandragora put Fiorentina ahead from the spot before Cristian Volpato, Amar Dedić Muharemovic and Ismaël Koné completed Sassuolo’s turnaround.
- Fiorentina remain without a league victory on 6 points after 14 matches, while Sassuolo move to 20 points and climb the table.
- Pressure is growing on coach Paolo Vanoli, who had spoken of physical, tactical and mental work and floated a switch to a four-man defense before the match.
- Selection issues continued for Fiorentina, with Robin Gosens and Tommaso Fazzini unavailable and Marin Pongracic suspended.
- Sassuolo coach Fabio Grosso was sent off for protesting after an annulled Volpato goal, and Italian media framed Fiorentina’s skid as a deepening relegation threat.
