Bologna 3-0 Palermo

Stefano Pioli: “The lads were exceptional and it was a deserved victory. Alberto Gilardino is a champion and we absolutely needed these three points. It’s just a shame Saphir Taider was naïve on the red card.”

Gian Piero Gasperini: “The incidents compromised a game that we had started fairly well. We must accept the harsh reality of this season. I do not feel that I am at risk.”
