Sassuolo scored a late injury-time goal to deny Benevento of what could have been their first point of the season. Thirteen rounds of the 2017/18 Italian Serie A and newly-promoted Benevento has suffered a defeat in every round. Benevento sits at the bottom of the league table with zero points from as many wins and draws.
On the other end of the league table is a Napoli side that has remained undefeated in the league. Napoli took a ‘2-1’ home victory over an AC Milan that is still searching for an identity.
Mauro Icardi scored two to give Inter Milan a victory at home over Atalanta. A result that keeps Inter Milan as the other undefeated side and second best team in the 2017/18 Serie A season at this moment.
Radja Nainggolan’s winning goal made Roma was victorious in the ‘Rome derby’ over Lazio. Ciro Immobile scored the consolation goal for Lazio while adding a goal to his tally as the top goalscorer in the league.
Two late goals might have made the scoreline presentable to fans of Juventus, but the shocker of the round was when a very clinical Sampdoria side took a victory at home over Juventus. It is a defeat that keeps Juventus 4 points away from the top. Relegation-zoned Hellas Verona couldn’t avoid a home defeat, despite taking a goal lead into the half.
