Napoli got off to a winning start in their Serie A title defence by beating newly promoted Sassuolo 2-0 away at Reggio Emilia thanks to goals by star summer signing Kevin De Bruyne and last year's MVP Scott McTominay.
    The 34-year-old former Manchester City Belgium attacking midfielder saw his long cross nestle in the far corner shortly after a bullet header from the Scot.
    Napoli are hoping to bag their fifth title after the two of the Maradona years and two in the last three years, the last one when they pipped Inter Milan to the scudetto in May.
    Inter play Torino at 20.45 Monday night.
    In the other weekend games, AC Milan went down 2-1 to a shock home defeat to newly promoted Cremonese, the first time the Cremona side had won at San Siro.
    Roma won 1-0 against Bologna , Lazio lost 2-0 at promoted Como, and Juventus beat Parma 2-0.
    Atalanta and PIsa drew 1-1, Cagliaria and Fiorentina and drew 1-1.
    Udinese host Hellas Verona at 18:30 Monday.
