Juve stunned at 94', Roma and Inter chase top spot

The weekend left Juventus floored at Sassuolo and Lazio alone at the top, but Monday could turn it all around. At 18:30 Torino-Roma and Como-Parma, at 20:45 Inter-Udinese: both chasers have a game in hand and the summit within reach.

Let's start with the bitterest night, Juventus'. At the Mapei Stadium Sassuolo won 3-2: the Bianconeri fell behind twice and twice pulled level through a Zhegrova brace, before former Juve man Adzic struck the winner in the 94th minute, as ANSA and Gazzetta report. Earlier, Napoli returned to winning ways by beating Bologna 1-0 with a Lobotka goal (Corriere dello Sport), while Lecce edged Monza 3-2 thanks to a Coulibaly brace. The rest of matchday four: Venezia-Fiorentina 2-4 on Friday, then Genoa-Frosinone 1-1, Lazio-Milan 2-2 and Atalanta-Cagliari 1-2, settled by a Daniel Maldini penalty.

The morning is mostly about the fallout. Spalletti told Sky Sport it was a "costly defeat" and said his side lost their balance, while telling Gazzetta he takes the blame for pushing to win it; Gazzetta's ratings give Kolo Muani a 4 and Matic a 7.5. The Maldini case is also making headlines: according to Calciomercato.com, the Cagliari forward ended up in hospital after a car accident in Milan on Saturday night, with injuries that are not serious, and reportedly tested positive for alcohol; the matter has yet to be clarified. At Napoli, NapoliCalcioNews reports an injury emergency for Allegri, with seven players sidelined. The only official transfer news: Brozovic has joined Al-Sadd on a one-year contract (Calciomercato.com).

Monday wraps up the round with three games. At 18:30 CEST Torino-Roma and Como-Parma kick off at the same time: on the eve, Abate called Roma "title contenders" and said his Torino want to have a go (ANSA), while Fabregas answered questions on rotation after the Champions League (Tuttosport). At 20:45 it's Inter-Udinese: according to ANSA, Chivu said Inter are used to criticism and are focused on growing, while Runjaic called them the best team in the league and, according to Fantacalcio, hopes to have Zanoli and Zaniolo back for the following game against Cagliari. Abroad, at 21:00, Leeds-Newcastle closes the Premier League round and Villarreal-Real Betis the LaLiga one.

In the table Lazio lead with 10 points after four games, but Roma and Inter are on 9 with a game in hand: a win tonight would put both ahead. Cagliari are also on 9 and, according to Calciomercato.com, have never collected so many points in their first four Serie A matches. Juventus stay eighth on 7, Napoli tenth on 6; at the bottom Venezia are the only side still without a point. Malen (Roma) leads the scoring chart with 5 goals.

Here is what the weekend said abroad. In the Premier League Manchester City won the derby 1-0 at United and, with Arsenal winning 2-0 at Sunderland, the two sides sit level at the top on 12 points. In LaLiga Barcelona beat Levante 4-2 with another Yamal brace (ANSA) and stay first on 15, three points clear of Real Madrid, who beat Rayo 4-1; Atletico won 3-0 in San Sebastián. In the Bundesliga Freiburg and Dortmund lead on 9, with Bayern winning 2-1 at Elversberg; in Ligue 1 Lille, Monaco and Rennes top the table on 10 and PSG won 1-0 at Brest.
