Genoa 3 - 2 Chievo : Panagiotis Tachtsidis nets late winner as Genoa strike back

Substitute Panagiotis Tachtsidis struck a winner at the death as 10-man Genoa clinched a thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind Serie A victory over Chievo on Sunday.

Alberto Paloschi silenced the crowd in Genoa when he put Chievo ahead in the opening minute.

The Grifoni's Leonardo Pavoletti equalised 12 minutes later with a six-yard shot before team-mate Serge Gakpe put the hosts ahead for the first time in the 17th minute with a long-range attempt.

Genoa suffered a blow when Blerim Dzemaili was shown his second yellow card nine minutes after the re-start following a late challenge on Perparim Hetemaj and Chievo took advantage - pulling level in the 77th minute with substitute Sergio Pellisier's tap-in.

Tachtsidis earned Genoa their third victory with a 25-yard strike with seconds remaining.
