Fiorentina are now ninth, three places and four points outside any European spot. 

Venezia’s win lifted them out of the relegation zone and into fourth-from-last place. The bottom three go down.

Fali Cande on the hour mark and Gaetano Oristanio eight minutes later put Venezia in the driving seat at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Rolando Mandragora pulled a goal back for the visitors with 13 minutes remaining.

However, after playing away to Cagliari next match, Venezia are at home to Juventus, neither of which will be easy games.
