Overview
- Inter moved briefly clear of the field with a 3-0 win over Parma on Saturday as Petar Sucic, Hakan Çalhanoglu and Marcus Thuram scored to lift Inter to 16 points.
- Lazio beat Monza 3-1 on Sunday to stay unbeaten and reach 16 points after six matches, the best opening start in the club’s history.
- Napoli recovered form with a 3-0 home win over Frosinone as Kevin De Bruyne scored twice and Noa Lang added a goal to give Napoli back-to-back wins.
- AC Milan drew 1-1 at Sassuolo with Adrien Rabiot on the scoresheet and now sit four points off the leaders, while Roma were held 0-0 at Como and saw Donyell Malen sent off in a match that ended Serie A’s 54-game run without a goalless draw.
- Bologna claimed a timely 2-1 win at Lecce under new coach Raffaele Palladino, and the early stand-off at the top — combined with coach criticisms and off-field tensions at clubs such as Lazio — means form and managerial responses will shape the title race going forward.
