FLORENCE, Italy (AP) -- Fiorentina missed a chance to go fourth in Serie A on Monday when it conceded two second half goals and lost at home to Udinese 2-1.
The Florence club won a record eight consecutive Serie A games before losing to Bologna 1-0 on Dec. 15, and it looked to be back on track when Moises Kean converted a penalty after eight minutes to become the first Fiorentina player to reach double figures in the league since Federico Chiesa in the 2019-20 season.
