Champions Juventus crushed
Udinese 6-2 on Sunday despite playing most of the match in 10
men to close the gap on the top two, Napoli and Inter.
Germany midfielder Sami Khedira scored a hat-trick as the
Turin giants showed character and composure to triumph after an
early red card dor forward Mario Mandzukic.
Napoli's perfect start to the season was halted when they
were held at home to a goalless draw by second-placed Inter on
Saturday.
Napoli have 25 points, two more than Inter and three more
than Juve.
Lazio, like Juve, also have 22 points after they beat
Cagliari 3-0 at home.
Serie A top scorer Ciro Immobile netted his 12th and 13th
league goals of the season.
AS Roma are fifth on 18 points with a game in hand thanks to
a 1-0 win at Torino.
AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella's job could be on the line
after his side's poor form continued with a 0-0 draw against
Genoa at the San Siro.
Defender Leonardo Bonucci was sent off in the first half for
elbowing a defender in a decision reached with the help of the
video assistant referee (VAR).
It was the first time a red card was decided by the VAR in
Italy.
Benevento set a new record by losing 3-0 at home to
Fiorentina, meaning they have lost all nine of their Serie A
games so far.
