Armand Loriente, Davide Fratesi and Nedim Bajrami all netted as Sassuolo ousted visitors Cremonese in a five-goal thriller that ended 3–2 in favor of the home side. Yann Karamoh scores the only goal as Torino return to winning ways as they beat Bologna 1-0
Cremonese fought back from two goals down and fell short of a stoppage-time winner by Sassuolo for a 3-2 win in Serie A on Monday.
Cremonese were hoping to secure back-to-back wins in Serie A for the first time since 1996, after surprisingly beating Roma on Tuesday for their first league win of the season.
It looked unlikely when the visitors found themselves 2-0 down after Armand Loriente fired in a free kick and set up Davide Fratsi with a delightful backheel pass.

But Davide Ballardini sent off Serie Dasser after the interval and he put Cremonese back in the match in the 62nd when he ran onto a poor header from Sassuolo defender Martin Erlich and fired into the bottom right corner.
And Dessers earned the visitors a precious point when he took the lead seven minutes from time, running onto a long goal kick and rounding Sassuolo keeper Andrea Consigli before firing into the far corner.
However, it was another substitute who netted the winner when Nedim Bajrami scored in the second minute of extra time after another assist by Llorente.
Cremonese remained nine points away from safety. Sassuolo moved 12 points above the relegation zone.
european hopes
Torino got back to winning ways by beating Bologna 1–0 and hurting the latter’s hopes of qualifying for Europe.
Yann Karamoh brilliantly latched onto Antonio Sanabria’s cut-back in the 22nd minute and made his way through several Torino players before slotting into the bottom left corner.
Torino’s first win in four games moved it one point behind Bologna.
Bologna surprisingly beat Inter Milan in the last round and regained the dream of Europe. But it was seven points behind sixth-placed Atalanta.
