Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi has expressed his delight at scoring four goals during his side's win over AC Milan.

The Neroverdi came from two goals down to claim a 4-3 victory on Sunday evening, and Berardi believes that the result will help the club in their battle against relegation.

"It is an evening I will certainly never forget," he told Sky Sport Italia. "I am happy for the four goals, but above all because this was an important win for Sassuolo and we really needed that boost.

"I dedicate the goals to our friend Francesco Acerbi, my family, my girlfriend and coach Eusebio Di Francesco.

"It has been a tough time this week with rumours about whether the Coach would leave or not, so this win may well be decisive for his time here. We're glad to keep him, as he took us into Serie A and has a huge heart, just like the players."

Sassuolo moved up to 16th in the Serie A table following their win.
