Bologna beat visiting Sampdoria 3-1 Sunday to consolidate their mid-table position in the Italian Serie A.
Musa Barrow headed in Bologna’s opener and set up Mattias Svanberg’s second after Fabio Quagliarella volleyed in for 1-1. After the break Svanberg’s assist led to Roberto Soriano’s flicked finish against his former team.

The Bolognese are now one point adrift of 11th-placed Samp and sit 11 clear of the three-team relegation zone with 11 games remaining.
