Roma have recorded
a 2-1 win over Fiorentina to go top of the Serie A table, while Juventus and
Milan also earned much-needed wins.
Rudi Garcia's men
made a strong start to the game at the Stadio Artemio Franchi as Mohamed Salah
opened the scoring after just six minutes against his former team.
Gervinho doubled
Roma's lead in the 34th minute, receiving the ball from Alessandro Florenzi
before coolly slotting home.
Salah was
controversially sent off in the 87th minute after receiving two yellow cards
within the space of 10 seconds, before Khouma Babacar netted to make it 2-1
well into stoppage time.
Gonzalo Higuain
fired Napoli to a 1-0 win over Chievo to send his team second, two points
behind Roma.
Fiorentina
meanwhile dropped to third, level on 18 points with Napoli, Inter and Lazio,
who proved to be too strong for Torino, as goals from Senad Lulic and Felipe
Anderson's brace saw them cruise to a 3-0 win.
Elsewhere, Juventus
returned to winning ways after draws against Inter and Borussia Monchengladbach
in their previous two matches, beating Atalanta 2-0.
Paulo Dybala broke
the deadlock two minutes before the half-hour mark, slotting home after being
set up by Paul Pogba.
The Argentine
attacker turned provider after the break as he teed up Mario Mandzukic to make
it 2-0.
Rafael Toloi was
dismissed in the closing stages of the game, while Pogba missed a spot kick in
Turin.
Milan bagged the
full three points following a hard-fought win over Sassuolo.
The hosts received
a major boost when referee Gianluca Rocchi sent off Andrea Consigli and awarded
them a penalty, which was duly converted by Carlos Bacca.
Nevertheless,
Domenico Berardi levelled the scoring after the break when he beat 16-year-old
goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with a fine free-kick.
Luiz Adriano netted
a vital goal with just five minutes remaining on the clock to help Sinisa
Mihajlovic's men to victory.
Sampdoria also
earned three points following a 4-1 win over Verona, with Luis Muriel, Ervin
Zukanovic, Roberto Soriano and Eder all finding the net before Artur Ionita
pegged one back.
Finally, a single
Francesco Lodi strike was enough for Udinese to see off Frosinone at home.
