Udinese head home with a point having nearly claimed all three in a rainy day in Florence. The visitors were quick out of the starting blocks, taking the lead early doors through Sandi Lovric. Davide Faroani’s cross was met by Lucas Beltran’s head in the 56th minute to draw Fiorentina level, before Florian Thauvin’s smart finish put Udinese back in the lead. However, a penalty by M’Bala three minutes from the end saw the hosts claim a point.
