Mariano Bogliacino put the visitors in front on 55 minutes but Tedesco scored three minutes later and added a second on 67 minutes to give the Rosaneri their first victory in seven matches.

Sampdoria added to Empoli's misery as the Tuscany club's dismal start to the season continued with a 3-0 defeat which left the visitors firmly rooted in the bottom three of the Serie A table.

It took just five minutes for Christian Maggio to open the scoring for Samp, making it two goals in as many games for the young defender.

Vincenzo Montella, who played for Empoli for five years, doubled his side's advantage just before the break, before Paolo Sammarco sealed the victory with a minute to go.
