Fiorentina steamroll slumping Roma to increase pressure on Juric

Crisis club Roma slumped to a humiliating 5-1 defeat at Fiorentina which left Ivan Juric at risk of the sack barely a month after he replaced Daniele De Rossi in the capital club's dugout.

Roma are 11th on just 10 points after a horrendous night in Florence in which nothing went right, going two down to strikes from Moise Kean and Lucas Beltran within 17 minutes and never recovering from that early blow.

The away side were briefly in the game when Manu Kone netted in the 39th minute, but Kean bagged his second of the night moments later.

A miserable evening was completed by Roma youth product Edoardo Bove adding the fourth and Mats Hummels nodding into his own net just four minutes after making his debut for the club from the bench following Mario Hermoso's sending off.

Roma's dismal season has only been made worse by local rivals Lazio's great form, their latest win a 3-0 thumping of injury-ravaged Genoa.

Lazio are level on 16 points with fourth-placed Fiorentina, Atalanta and Udinese, who are all one behind Juve, after Tijjani Noslin's jinking run and low finish in the 21st minute was followed up by late strikes from Pedro and Matias Vecino.

Genoa meanwhile are third from bottom after a seven-match winless run in which they have lost five times. They are set to sign Mario Balotelli on Monday in an attempt to solve an injury crisis which has crippled their attack.
