Report from Sports.com

Yet Again Rahman Rezaei played the full 90 minutes for Perugia team which also fatured Ali Samaereh coming on as a late sub. Perugia won 2-0 with debutant O'Niell scoring the opening goal.

Il Granata threatened first, with Benoit Cauet's header being superbly pushed away by Colombian keeper Oscar Cordoba, before the Uruguayan O'Neill broke the deadlock after 26 minutes.

The visitors rarely looked like getting back into the game, with home skipper Giovanni Tedesco hitting the bar with a header, before Zisis Vryzas made the game safe 19 minutes from time.

Fabio Bazzani's throughball was allowed to run through to his Greek strike partner, who beat Luca Bucci with ease.

Serse Cosmi's side are now seven points clear of the drop zone and on target to repeat last season's superb showing, when they finished 11th after being hotly tipped for relegation.

Torino for their part are still six points clear of danger and look like consolidating their position back in the top flight.
