- Caputi makes history -

Ferrieri Caputi had one moment of controversy in her Serie A officiating debut, giving Sassuolo the penalty from which Andrea Pinamonti put the hosts two goals ahead six minutes before half-time. Armand Lauriente had already put Sassuolo in the lead in the 12th minute with his first Serie A goal when she whistled for what Salernitana thought was a soft foul on Emil Ceide by Giulio Maggiore.

Kristian Thorstvedt, who had laid on Lauriente's opener, then swept home the third in the 53rd minute after rapid counter led by Agustin Alvarez Martinez. Abdou Harroui made it four with 14 minutes remaining before Janis Antiste rolled in a low finish to complete the rout in stoppage time.

Alessio Dionisi's side are now seventh, level on 12 points with Inter Milan who were beaten by Roma at the San Siro on Saturday and drop down a place to eighth. Monza moved out of the relegation zone thanks to a 3-0 win at the league's bottom side Sampdoria, their second straight victory after beating Juventus before the international break.

Matteo Pessina and Gianluca Caprari both scored their first goals for the club owned by Silvio Berlusconi, who now sit 16th, before Stefano Sensi scored against his former club, whose team were loudly booed by fans after the final whistle. Samp have lost their last four and are four points behind 17th-placed Bologna, who take on Juve in Turin on Sunday night.

Lecce drew 1-1 with Cremonese with penalties from Daniel Ciofani and Gabriel Strefezza leaving each side with a point.
