Kevin-Prince Boateng was in action as Fiorentina bowed to a 4-1 home loss against Roma on Friday night.
The 32-year-old who last scored a Serie A goal in August, could not end his 11-game goal drought in front of the home fans in Florence.
Milan Badelj's first-half strike stood as a consolation for Fiorentina as goals from Edin Dzeko, Aleksandar Kolarov, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nicolo Zaniolo sealed maximum points for the visitors at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Boateng featured for 66 minutes before he was replaced by Pedro while Algeria's Rachid Ghezzal was an unused substitute.
