Fiorentina 2-0 Torino

Fiorentina consolidated their place in the top four in Serie A with a 2-0 win over mid-table Torino at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.Paulo Sousa's side lost their two previous games, against Europa League hopefuls AC Milan and Lazio, but a 13th win of the season keeps them in touch with the leading pack.The only goal in a quiet first half came on 24 minutes thanks to a superb free-kick from Slovenian midfielder Josip Ilicic - his 10th goal in the league this season.Khouma Babacar should have doubled the home side's lead just two minutes into the second half but he fired his shot wide of the target after being played in by Bojan Valero.Just moments later it was Torino's turn to spurn a great opportunity when striker Daniele Baselli found himself free in the penalty area but he failed to beat the goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu from close range.Fiorentina looked the more threatening as the game went on and sealed the victory on 83 minutes when Argentinian centre-back Gonzalo Rodriguez headed home Manuel Pasqual's corner to make it 2-0 and avenge their 3-1 defeat earlier in the season.Torino, who have been in stuttering form since October, have only amassed eight points out of a possible 30 on their travels and missed the chance to move into the top half of the table.ends
