It was an extraordinary six-goal thriller, as Genoa came back from 2-0 down in 120 seconds, then a late penalty and red card held Fiorentina.

The Viola thought they had the victory locked down through Josip Ilicic’s mistaken cross and Federico Chiesa, but did not count on Giovanni Simeone and debutant Oscar Hiljemark.

Nikola Kalinic again believed he had done enough, but Federico Bernardeschi saw red for handball on the line and gifted Genoa the equaliser.
