Serie A Review: Fiorentina stun Inter to go top

Fiorentina replaced Inter at the top of Serie A after ending the hosts' 100 per cent start to the season in spectacular style at the San Siro.

Nikola Kalinic grabbed a hat-trick and Josip Ilicic also found the net for Fiorentina, who romped to a 4-1 win on Sunday, having led 3-0 inside 23 minutes in Milan.

City rivals Milan did not fare much better, as a deflected Blerim Dzemaili free-kick proved enough to condemn them to their third defeat of the season at Genoa. 

Dzemaili's effort found the net with just 10 minutes gone and Milan's hopes of forcing their way back into the contest were not helped by a red card to defender Alessio Romagnoli just before the break.

Luiz Adriano and Mario Balotelli both went close for the visitors in the second half, but Sinisa Mihajlovic's men could not find a way through and slipped to tenth in the table.
