    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.

    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.
