over Fiorentina, while Juventus beat Atalanta 2-0 and
Milan saw off Sassuolo.
Roma have recorded a 2-1 win over Fiorentina to go top of the
Serie A table, while Juventus and Milan also earned much-
needed wins.
Rudi Garcia's men made a strong start to the game at the Stadio
Artemio Franchi as Mohamed Salah opened the scoring after
just six minutes against his former team.
Gervinho doubled Roma's lead in the 34th minute, receiving the
ball from Alessandro Florenzi before coolly slotting home.
Salah was controversially sent off in the 87th minute after
receiving two yellow cards within the space of 10 seconds,
before Khouma Babacar netted to make it 2-1 well into stoppage
time.
Gonzalo Higuain fired Napoli to a 1-0 win over Chievo to send
his team second, two points behind Roma.
Fiorentina meanwhile dropped to third, level on 18 points with
Napoli, Inter and Lazio, who proved to be too strong for Torino,
as goals from Senad Lulic and Felipe Anderson's brace saw
them cruise to a 3-0 win.
Elsewhere, Juventus returned to winning ways after draws
against Inter and Borussia Monchengladbach in their previous
two matches, beating Atalanta 2-0.
Paulo Dybala broke the deadlock two minutes before the half-
hour mark, slotting home after being set up by Paul Pogba.
The Argentine attacker turned provider after the break as he teed
up Mario Mandzukic to make it 2-0.
Rafael Toloi was dismissed in the closing stages of the game,
while Pogba missed a spot kick in Turin.
Milan bagged the full three points following a hard-fought win
over Sassuolo.
The hosts received a major boost when referee Gianluca Rocchi
sent off Andrea Consigli and awarded them a penalty, which
was duly converted by Carlos Bacca.
Nevertheless, Domenico Berardi levelled the scoring after the
break when he beat 16-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi
Donnarumma with a fine free-kick.
Luiz Adriano netted a vital goal with just five minutes remaining
on the clock to help Sinisa Mihajlovic's men to victory.
Sampdoria also earned three points following a 4-1 win over
Verona, with Luis Muriel, Ervin Zukanovic, Roberto Soriano and
Eder all finding the net before Artur Ionita pegged one back.
Finally, a single Francesco Lodi strike was enough for Udinese
to see off Frosinone at home.
