Fiorentina squandered a two-goal lead at home for the second time in five days on Monday and were jeered off the field following a 2-2 draw with Torino which heaped the pressure on coach Paulo Sousa. Torino forward Andrea Belotti missed a penalty for the third time this season but then scored a brace for the visitors in the second half after Riccardo Saponara and Nikola Kalinic had given the hosts a two-goal halftime lead. Saponara gave Fiorentina an eighth-minute lead, turning in the rebound after Torino goalkeeper Joe Hart superbly stopped Borja Valero's shot, and Kalinic headed in seven minutes before the break. Torino were nowhere to be seen and only Hart prevented a bigger lead for Fiorentina. Their relief was short-lived, however, as Belotti headed a goal back in the 65th minute after being left completely unmarked.
