Kike Pérez's long-range strike sinks Udinese as Venezia win 2-1
Venezia beat Udinese 2-1 at the Penzo, climb off the bottom of Serie A and send Paolo Zanetti's side to last place on his debut.
Kike Pérez scored the winner for Venezia against Udinese at the Penzo in the 65th minute, a left-footed strike from outside the box into the top corner after a pass from Pasquale Mazzocchi, according to Football Italia.
The score had already changed hands. Toma Bašić put Venezia ahead in the 54th minute, but Matías Moreno deflected the ball into his own net in the 57th, and the equaliser stood after a long VAR check.
It was Paolo Zanetti's debut on the Udinese bench, after Kosta Runjaic was sacked. The win lifts Venezia off the bottom, a point behind Monza, while Udinese drop to last place. Both sides return after the international break: Venezia visit Juventus on 22 November and Udinese travel to Bologna.
