With the tally level, Ronaldo scored after a foul on Juan Cuadrado then made certain of the points after Alvaro Morata was brought down. Paulo Dybala had given Juventus the lead, only for Stefano Sturaro to equalise for the home side. Juventus sit fourth in the table, four points behind leaders AC Milan who were held to a 2-2 draw by Parma why Genoa are 19th, a point ahead of bottom side Crotone. AC Milan once again battled from two goals down at home to rescue a thrilling 2-2 draw against Parma at San Siro on Sunday night. Despite having the vast majority of the chances and possession, the away side found themselves a goal up at half-time through Hernani’s strike. It was 2-0 in the second half against the run of play again as Kurtic arrived to head home from the penalty spot, but then the Theo Hernandez show ensued. The result extends Milan’s lead atop the Serie A table to three points, with Inter having beaten Cagliari 3-1 earlier in the day. Inter Milan has now gathered 10 points from losing positions so far this season, with three of those coming from yesterday's 3-1 win over the Cagliari in Sardinia. The Nerazzurri entered half time 1-0 down, but second half goals by Nicolo Barella, D. D'Ambrosio and Romelu Lukaku gave them the needed victory. Inter’s win saw them return to second in the league table with 24 points. Substitute Hirving Lozano scored one goal and created a second after coming on at half-time to inspire Osimhen's Napoli to a 2-1 win at home to Sampdoria in Serie A on Sunday. Sampdoria, who are now six matches without a win, went ahead through Jakub Jankto in the 20th minute after he was sent clear by Valerio Verre's through ball. But Lozano needed only eight minutes on the field to equalise, heading in a Dries Mertens cross. The Mexican then saw a shot hit the post, before bursting down the right to provide the cross for Andrea Petagna to head in Napoli's winner in the 68th minute. Napoli's win left them third with 23 points, four behind leaders AC Milan. Robin Gosens (43), Malinovsky (54) and Rafael Tolói (62) were all in the score sheet as Atalanta inflicts yet another on Florentina. With the win, Atalanta moved to 8th with 17 points why Florentina remain 17th, 3 points above relegation zone. Roma went on the rampage and blasted five first-half goals past a pitiful Bologna side on their way to a 5-1 away win in Serie A on Sunday, with Arsenal outcast Henrikh Mkhitaryan scoring and assisting. Each team also had two goals disallowed, and Roma hit the post as they went sixth in the table with 21 points.
