AS Roma beat Cremonese at the
Olimpico Monday night to stay with Serie A leaders Napoli and
Inter, all with six points from the first two games of the
season.
Cremonese stayed joint last with no points.
A header from 32-year-old former Man Utd and ex-England central
defender Chris Smalling was enough to gain the Giallorossi the
points in Rome.
Roma have lost the services of rising star Italy midfielder
Nicolò Zaniolo who put his shoulder out in the first half and
was taken off. He will be out for three to four weeks.
In the other Monday night game Juventus drew 0-0 at Samdoria to
join Atalanta, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Torino in joint
second on four points, with one win and one draw.
Champions Milan have scored five goals and conceded three,
compared to free-scoring Napoli, who came third last term and
have nine goals for and two against in their two matches.
Inter, who came second behind their city rivals a year after
lifting the scudetto themselves, have scored five and let in one
goal.
Roma, with two one-nil wins, is thus third in the table on goal
difference behind Napoli, top, and Inter, second.
