Carpi hit back to stun 10-man Genoa

Carpi grabbed a vital win in their Serie A relegation battle as they came from behind to beat 10-man Genoa 4-1.
The Biancorossi had suffered back-to-back defeats in the league, leaving them level on points with 18th-placed Palermo, but three goals in the space of five minutes moved them clear of the bottom three.
Leonardo Pavoletti opened the scoring in the 34th minute, but Armando Izzo's sending-off in the 45th minute proved the catalyst for a turnaround in first-half stoppage time.
After Izzo was dismissed for a second yellow card Antonio Di Gaudio's acrobatic strike and Lorenzo Lollo's goal put Carpi 2-1 in front before the break.
Lorenzo Pasciuti slotted home four minutes into the second half before Stefano Sabelli rounded off an impressive win from close-range late on.
