INTER Milan went on a rare scoring spree to thrash Serie A newcomer Frosinone 4-0 and go clear at the top Sunday, the first time Roberto Mancini’s team has won a league match by more than one goal this season.

    Fiorentina, previously level with Inter, needed two goals from substitute Nikola Kalinic to rescue a 2-2 draw at home to lowly Empoli after they had trailed 2-0, with coach Paulo Sousa admitting he had made mistakes with his team selection.

    Vincenzo Montella made a losing start as coach of Sampdoria, who lost 1-0 at Udinese, and Davide Ballardini, starting a second stint in charge of Palermo, saw the Sicilians held 1-1 at Lazio.

    There was an amazing finish at Genoa where Francesco Acerbi scored in the 94th minute for visitors Sassuolo to make it 1-1, only for Leonardo Pavoletti to win it for the hosts almost immediately. Both teams had a player sent off in the first half.

    Inter has 30 points from 13 games, two ahead of Fiorentina and Napoli, which ground out a 2-0 win at Verona with second-half goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Gonzalo Higuain.(SD-Agencies)
