SERIE A : Gonzalo Higuain brace fuels Juventus; Roma win thriller; Atalanta top Napoli

Juventus ensured they would end the weekend in first place in Serie A with a convincing 3-0 victory at Empoli.

Juve's victory was secured in the space of five second-half minutes, when one goal from Paulo Dybala and two more from the £78 million Gonzalo Higuain built a commanding lead.

Kostas Manolas had the final word in Roma's scintillating 2-1 victory over Inter Milan.

Edin Dzeko lit the touchpaper on an end-to-end encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, which could well have swung Inter's way had Ever Banega managed to add to his lone second-half goal.

Greek defender Manolas kept all three points in the Eternal City with his 76th-minute headed winner.

Gabriel Paletta's first ever AC Milan goal settled a 4-3 thriller against Sassuoloat San Siro.

Sassuolo looked set to copy their shock win of the 2014-15 season when Matteo Politano, Francesco Acerbi and Lorenzo Pellegrini rendered Giacomo Bonaventura's opener for Milan seemingly irrelevant.

But the Rossoneri launched their own comeback with Carlos Bacca converting a penalty before substitute Manuel Locatelli and former Liverpool defender Paletta completed an amazing turnaround.

Andrea Petagna ended Napoli's unbeaten start to the Serie A season by firingAtalanta to a 1-0 win.

Four wins and two draws from six games had kept the southerners within touching distance of leaders Juventus, but they are now four points off the pace after losing at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.

Former AC Milan striker Petagna needed only nine minutes to strike the blow to which Napoli would fail to respond.

Iago Falque scored one goal and set up another as Torino reached eighth place with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico.

The former Tottenham player bagged a brace against Roma last weekend and carried that momentum into Torino's next fixture with a slick early opener.

In the second half he teed up Marco Benassi for the Granata's second, with Khouma Babacar providing Fiorentina fans with some consolation at the death.

Falque continued where he left off against Roma by opening the scoring in the 15th minute.

Giovanni Simeone continues to make an impact in his maiden Serie A season after scoring the only goal as Genoa beat Bologna 1-0.

Cagliari handed out another Serie A defeat to Crotone with a 2-1 victoryagainst the basement club at Stadio Sant'Elia.

Defeat means Crotone have failed to win any of their seven top-flight matches since gaining promotion and they have only picked up a solitary point in the process.

Bruno Fernandes scored a last-gasp equaliser for Sampdoria to earn a 1-1 drawwith 10-man Palermo at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Ilija Nestorovski showed composure to slot into the bottom corner to give Palermo the lead on 60 minutes only for Fernandes to clinch a point.

UEL : Manchester Utd kalah lagi | Southampton menang bergaya

Feyenoord have won six games in a row after beating Manchester United

Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst: "In the second half you saw that Manchester United want to win with the tempo and the three substitutions, you sensed that they want to leave here with the win.

"At the right moment we scored the goal - a fantastic goal on the counter-attack.

"After that the spirit came in the team and the determination to be there for the last 15 minutes. We fought hard to get the result and after 90 minutes we did."

Not a great start to Frank de Boer's managerial reign at Inter, who are on four points from three games in Serie A. 

Shane Long curls a shot high and wide from the corner of the box. It's been another frustrating night for the Republic of Ireland striker.

Inter mengganas di San Siro (kosmo)

ICARDI (kiri) menyumbat hatrik bagi membantu Milan mengalahkan Sassuolo 7-0 pada aksi Serie A semalam.

MILAN - Pengendali Inter Milan, Walter Mazzari kagum terhadap corak permainan yang ditampilkan skuad bimbingannya sejurus membelasah Sassuolo 7-0 pada aksi Serie A di Stadium San Siro awal pagi semalam.

Mazzari menegaskan bahawa beliau sememangnya mahukan corak permainan seperti itu yang menyaksikan penyerang Inter, Mauro Icardi berjaya meledak hatrik pada aksi tersebut.

Dalam aksi itu, Inter berpesta empat gol pada babak pertama perlawanan menerusi dua jaringan Icardi seawal minit keempat dan 29, Mateo Kovacic (22) dan Fredy Guarin (43).

Bersambung di babak kedua, Inter terus mengganas dengan menyumbat tiga lagi gol menerusi Icardi (53), Pablo Osvaldo (72) dan jaringan kedua peribadi Guarin pada minit ke-75.

"Kami tamatkan kempen musim lalu dengan corak permainan sebegini tetapi berlakunya beberapa pertukaran pemain. Saya beritahu mereka perlu lebih pantas dan agresif.

"Bagi saya, beraksi dengan gaya dan tempo sebegini merupakan cara yang ideal. Saya harap kami dapat teruskan persembahan seperti ini.

"Kami mahu mengekalkan sikap, keinginan dan tahap agresif sebegini di atas padang. Kami perlu pantas menggerakkan bola dan tidak memberi ruang kepada pihak lawan untuk berfikir," katanya.

Sementara itu, bekas jurulatih Napoli itu turut memuji persembahan dipamerkan Kovacic dan gembira dengan perkembangan pemain kelahiran Croatia itu.

"Buat masa ini, dia memahami cara untuk bermain di Itali, dia bertahan dan menyerang apabila diperlukan sahaja.

"(Gary) Medel juga bermain cemerlang. Apabila kami menyerang dengan enam pemain, kami memerlukan pemain sepertinya untuk menjaga barisan pertahanan kami.

"Jika semua pemain teruskan aksi sebegini, kami boleh menggunakan corak permainan ini menentang kelab-kelab besar. Saya minta maaf menang 7-0 tetapi Sassuolo ialah pasukan yang baik," jelasnya. - Agensi
