The victory marks Fiorentina's biggest away league win since October 2024 and lifts them above Lecce, providing some breathing room in their relegation battle. Cremonese, on the other hand, remains in a tough spot, extending their winless run to 15 games.
Paolo Vanoli's men had chances to score, with Fabiano Parisi's shots causing trouble for the goalkeeper. He wasn't denied on his next chance, though - some slick footwork led to a great finish past Emil Audero.

Davide Nicola's side faced an uphill battle at halftime, trailing 2-0. They'd struggled in similar situations before, losing 10 of 11 Serie A games this season when trailing at the break.
Cremonese pushed hard to get back in, but their best chance before halftime fell flat - Tommaso Barbieri's long-range shot sailed high and wide.
Any hopes of a Cremonese comeback were crushed early in the second half, as Fiorentina's Dodo scored a brilliant solo goal. He beat multiple defenders and the goalkeeper with a clever dummy, slotting the ball into an empty net.
The goal seemed to kill the game, with Fiorentina looking comfortable and Cremonese struggling to respond.
Cremonese refused to give up, and David Okereke pulled one back with a great finish near the penalty spot. But it was short-lived - Fiorentina's dominance continued, with Rolando Mandragora's shots causing trouble, including a spectacular save.
The icing on the cake came when Albert Gudmundsson restored Fiorentina's three-goal lead, curling a shot into the bottom corner.

That was a killer blow for Cremonese - they failed to capitalize on chances, with Okereke and Zerbin wasting opportunities, and now they're three points from safety with a 15-game winless streak.
