Berardi at the double as Sassuolo deepen Verona's relegation woes

Sassuolo scored twice in the five minutes before halftime to pave the way to a 3-0 victory that deepened Verona's already considerable relegation woes in Serie A on Friday. Verona was without a win in 11 league games and in last place, equal on points with Pisa. Both clubs were nine points from safety, and Pisa faces a crunch match on Monday against Fiorentina, the team six points above them both in the third relegation spot.
