Giuseppe Rossi bagged a superb hat-trick as Fiorentina shocked defending Serie A champions Juventus with an unbelievable second-half comeback in Florence. Juventus were comfortably leading 2-0 at the break through Carlos Tevez's penalty and a close-range volley from Paul Pogba but Rossi rallied the troops and Fiorentina managed to bag four goals in just 14 minutes, three from Rossi and one from.
Juventus lost a two-goal lead in a Serie A game for the first time since October 2009 while this was Fiorentina's first league success against rivals Juventus at Stadio Artemio Franchi in 15 years. Italy international Rossi has now eight goals in eight games this season, moving him to the top of the Serie A goalscoring rankings as the home side maintained their excellent start to the season.
Juventus were previously unbeaten and the defeat leaves them five points behind leaders Roma after eight matches. Antonio Conte's men have a chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday when they travel to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League, a good result there might appease the fans and lift the players' spirits. Here are the odds at Bet365:
Real Madrid win - 8/15
Draw - 10/3
Juventus win - 5/1
