Torino lost ground on the Serie A leaders yesterday after a 2-2 draw at Crotone as Atalanta also slipped up with a 3-1 defeat at Sampdoria. Despite qualifying for the Europa League this season and earning a win over Everton and a draw at Lyon, Atalanta are struggling in Serie A. Bryan Cristante opened with a 21st minute goal in Genoa only for Giampiero Gasperini’s side to concede three in a 12-minute second half spree for Sampdoria. Duvan Zapata got the equaliser on 56 minutes with Gianluca Caprari pulling the Genoa outfit ahead three minutes later and Karol Linetty sealing victory on 65 minutes.
Sampdoria move up to sixth place with the side from Bergamo now in 12th. Torino settled for a point at Crotone with Lorenzo De Silvestri nodding in the equaliser two minutes into injury time. Torino are now eighth, with Bologna moving just ahead with a 2-1 derby win over SPAL.
Earlier French striker Cyril Thereau scored in either half to get Fiorentina back to winning ways with a 2-1 success over his former club Udinese. Brazilian defender Samir pulled one back on 72 minutes as Udinese fought back in the second half. 
It was a third win of the season for Fiorentina who have suffered four defeats in eight games and move to 11th two places ahead of Udinese. 
Napoli pulled clear at the top of Serie A on Saturday by beating Roma 1-0 with Ciro Immobile’s second-half brace for Lazio condemning champions Juventus to a first home defeat, 2-1, in over two years. Paulo Dybala missed a late penalty as the Turin giants lost at home for the first time since August 2015 — ending a run of 38 wins and three draws for the six-time consecutive Serie A winners. Napoli go five points clear of the six-time reigning champions who are now equal on 19 points with Lazio and Inter Milan, who were playing city rivals AC Milan late last night. Lorenzo Insigne scored early at Rome’s Olympic stadium as Napoli maintained their perfect start with an eighth win in as many games.
Napoli were pushed hard by Roma in the second half after Insigne struck on 20 minutes with the only goal of the game, making the most of the misfortune of Roma skipper Daniele De Rossi to fire in past Alisson for the 100th club goal of his career.
Two Edin Dzeko headers — the first cleared by Pepe Reina after 70 minutes and the second which flew over the bar six minutes from time — kept Roma hopes alive. But a second defeat at home against a big team after Inter Milan gives Eusebio Di Francesco a lot to think about before next week’s Champions League trip to Chelsea.
