FLORENCE, Italy, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Fiorentina crushed Debrecen 5-2 on Wednesday to pile pressure on Group E rivals Liverpool in the race for qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Serie A side clinched their third consecutive European win with a sizzling second-half display that yielded goals from Dario Dainelli, Riccardo Montolivo, Marco Marchionni and Alberto Gilardino.

Adrian Mutu also scored for the home team in the first half while Gergely Rudolf and substitute Adamo Coulibaly replied for the visitors, who remain point-less and have no hope of progressing to the next round.

Second-placed Fiorentina have nine points from four games after their third consecutive European win, one point behind Olympique Lyon, who have now qualified, and five ahead of five-times winners Liverpool.

"We are happy but we have to stay calm and continue to play as we are," Peruvian midfielder Juan Vargas told Sky television.

"We have to stay humble because there are still two matches left to play."
