Chances were few and far between in the first half, which ended with the Viola taking the lead.

Catania restored parity just five minutes into the second half, Nicola Legrottaglie heading home Alejandro Gómez's free kick from the centre of the box.

Vincenzo Montella's side were unlucky not to regain their one-goal advantage two minutes later when Juan Cuadrado saw his header come off the crossbar.

Stevan Jovetic narrowly missed the target for the Viola from outside the box, before Cuadrado and Alberto Aquilani saw their attempts on goal saved by Mariano Andujar.

Fiorentina went down to 10 men on 78 minutes when Aquilani was sent off for dissent.

That gave the advantage to Catania, who scored their second and winning goal with five minutes to spare, Lucas Castro heading home Pablo Barrientos's cross from a difficult angle.
