Fiorentina claimed a handsome 4-1 victory over Frosinone in the early kick-off at Stadio Artemio Franchi to move to the top of Serie A.

The match was settled by half-time, with the hosts scoring all four of their goals during a dominant 45 minutes.

Ante Rebic opened the account after 24 minutes, taking possession in the right channel before lashing a shot into the top corner.

Five minutes later it was two, Gonzalo Rodriguez touching Mati Fernandez's free-kick past Massimo Zappino.

Kouma Babacar stepped up to take a 31st-minute penalty as the visitors unravelled, chipping it nonchalantly down the middle, before Mario Suarez made it four with a delicate run and shot.

Frosinone prevented further breaches and even pulled one back through Alessandro Frara in the 87th minute, but the points had long been safe.
