Parma have breezed past Livorno with a 3-0 win in Serie A.

Raffaele Palladino struck after just two minutes for the Gialloblu before two late goals from Amauri sealed the points at Armando Picchi.

Leandro Rinaudo went close with a header on 16 minutes before Palladino fired in an effort from Afriyie Acquah's cross a minute later.

Paulinho went close for Livorno just before half time and Cristiano Piccini had a header saved on the hour mark as they pressed to level the game.

As the home side searched for the equaliser, Amauri netted an 86th-minute strike, before adding a stoppage-time penalty.

The win moves Parma up to seventh in the table.
