KP Boateng opens Fiorentina goal account in seven-goal thriller

Kevin-Prince Boateng got off the mark as Fiorentina bowed to a 4-3 defeat to Napoli in Saturday's Serie A opening fixture.

Boateng who joined the Florence-based outfit on a two-year deal this summer, replaced Duan Vlahovic in the 61st minute to make his league debut for Vincenzo Montella's side.

The 32-year-old made an instant impact following his introduction and drew Fiorentina levelled with his maiden strike in the 65th minute.

His effort was not enough to earn the hosts a point at the Stadio Artemio Franchi as Lorenzo Insigne bagged his brace two minutes later.
