Genoa boosts its hopes of top-flight survival
Genoa boosted its hopes of Serie A survival with a 2-0 win over Ligurian rival Spezia, which still risks a return to Serie B.
Gianluca Scamacca and Eldor Shomurodov both came off the bench in the second half and scored to get the 'Grifoni' back winning after four matches after VAR (video assistant referee) forced the officials chalk off what look to be a legitimate opener for the hosts earlier in the match.
Genoa moved to 13th on the table with the victory, ahead of Fiorentina, which hosts Juventus on Monday (AEST), and is now eight points clear of the drop zone.
Spezia is five points ahead of Cagliari, which occupies the final relegation place.
