The hosts opened the scoring in the 18th minute through Iago Falque, who burst forward on the counter-attack and collected Marco Borriello's pass before slotting the ball into the bottom right corner.

Torino equalised just after the hour when Omar El Kaddouri curled a free kick past the wall and low beyond goalkeeper Mattia Perrin.

It didn't take long for Genoa to edge themselves back into the lead as Tino Costa fired a set piece of his own into the bottom corner of the visitors' goal.

Il Toro held firm until the latter stages of the game, when their opponents killed the match off courtesy of Andrea Bertolacci collecting Leonardo Pavoletti's pass and slotting home.

The 26-year-old provider then bagged a goal of his own in the 92nd minute before Costa netted his second of the game to leave Giampiero Ventura's charges humiliated.

Genoa climb to eighth in the Serie A table and sit just two points behind fifth-placed Fiorentina, while Torino remain in ninth place.
