Seko Fofana netted a quick-fire brace as Udinese came from behind to win 3-1 at Palermo.

The hosts took the lead in the 10th minute through Ilija Nestorovski's deflected finish following a Gabriele Angella error, before Cyril Thereau drew things level with a strike nine minutes prior to the break.

Fofana then fired Udinese ahead with around 15 minutes left in superb fashion from the edge of the box, and added a composed side-foot effort on the counter-attack five minutes later.

Palermo substitute Roland Sallai had been booked in between those goals and was then sent off in the 85th minute having been punished for a perceived dive with a second yellow card.

The result sees Udinese move up four place in Serie A to 12th, while Palermo drop one to 19th.
