Palermo 1 - 3 Torino: Torino striker Ciro Immobile scores twice to help down Palermo

Ciro Immobile scored his first brace for Torino as they beat Palermo to move away from the Serie A relegation zone.

Alberto Gilardino took just two minutes to put Palermo ahead when he drove Michel Morganella's pass into the roof of the net.

It was all Torino from then on, however. A foul by Morganella handed Torino a chance to equalise from the penalty spot and Immobile duly obliged with a right-footed shot into the bottom left-hand corner of Stefano Sorrentino's goal.

Giancarlo Gonzalez then scored an own goal to put Torino 2-1 up on the half hour and Immobile secured the win with a rising left-footed shot after the break.

The win moved Torino nine points above the drop zone while Palermo are now just four points above the bottom three.
