ANSA - Soccer: Napoli end losing streak, Juve suffer last-gasp defeat at Sassuolo

Inter and Roma seek to continue perfect starts against Udinese and Torino

Napoli ended a three-match losing streak in all-competitions by beating Bologna 1-0 on Sunday with a second-half goal by Stanislav Lobotka, lifting them to 10th in Serie A with six points and easing the pressure on coach Massimiliano Allegri.
    But Juventus suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat at Sassuolo with 20-year-old Montenegrin midfielder Vasilije Adzic, who is owned by the Turin giants but on loan at Sassuolo, scoring the winning goal in stoppage-time.
    Edon Zhegrova had twice equalized for Juve during a dramatic finish to the game after the hosts had gone ahead with goals by Sebastiano Esposito and Kieron Bowie.
    Juventus and Sassulo are seventh and eighth respectively with seven points each, three behind provisional leaders Lazio, who drew 2-2 with AC Milan in Rome on Saturday.
    Champions Inter and AS Roma can leapfrog Lazio if they beat Udinese at home and Torino away respectively later on Monday to continue their perfect starts after winning their first three games of the campaign.
    Como are also in action on Monday and they can pull level with Lazio if they beat Parma at home.
    Cagliari are a surprise fourth place with nine points after they continued their good form by winning 2-1 at Atalanta on Saturday.
