FacebookTwitterFacebook MessengerPinterestEmail Juventus playmaker Paulo Dybala scored his first goal of the season to set the Serie A leaders on the way to a 2-0 win over Bologna on Wednesday, which maintained their 100 percent start to the league campaign. Juve, with 18 points from six games, will take a three-point lead into Saturday's match at home to bitter rivals Napoli after last season's runners-up comfortably disposed of Parma 3-0 with a brace from striker Arkadiusz Milik. Bologna produced a shock win over Roma at the weekend but their resistance lasted only 12 minutes against the defending champions, who are aiming for an eighth successive Serie A title. Dybala set up Blaise Matuidi for a shot which was parried by goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski and the Argentine followed up to score from the rebound, his first Juventus goal since May 5, which was coincidentally against the same opponents.Serie A Watch on ESPN networks in the U.S. ESPN has reached an exclusive, multi-year rights agreement in the United States for Italy's Serie A TIM, one of the world's top soccer leagues.

Dybala also had a hand in the second four minutes later, his cross finding Cristiano Ronaldo for the Portuguese to knock back across the goal where Matuidi scored from a difficult angle. Napoli's win was equally straightforward after Lorenzo Insigne gave them a fourth-minute lead against promoted Parma. Milik fired in from long range early in the second half and the Pole turned in the third from close range in the 87th minute to give Carlo Ancelotti's team a fifth win in six games. New signings Joaquin Correa and Francesco Acerbi scored to give Lazio a 2-1 win at Udinese which kept them third, three points behind Napoli. Acerbi, signed from Sassuolo, turned in a rebound on the hour and Argentine midfielder Correa got off the mark following his move from Sevilla with a solo goal six minutes later. Lazio had to cling on, however, after Bram Nuytinck pulled one back with an overhead kick with 10 minutes left. AS Roma ended a five-match winless run in all competitions by thumping Frosinone 4-0 with Cengiz Under, Javier Pastore, Stephan El Shaarawy and Aleksandar Kolarov sharing the goals. Under rifled in a long-range effort after two minutes, Pastore back-heeled the second and El Shaarawy tapped in from Under's assist for the third after only 35 minutes. Kolarov capped the win three minutes from fulltime. Promoted Frosinone have yet to score a goal and have leaked 16 in their six

The same applies to his ability to make life difficult for Everton and deliver a viable Premier League concern to whoever takes ownership of St James’ Park. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley looking at four bids in excess of £300m for club Read more Newcastle departed with a valuable and well-earned point as they responded impressively to Saturday’s home defeat by West Ham, their only loss in six league games. It could have been three but for Jordan Pickford’s fine late save from Christian Atsu and a poor finish from the same player when clean through on goal in the 90th minute. Not that Benítez was complaining. Everton had sought a release from the misery of Sunday’s freakish defeat in the Merseyside derby. Pickford’s intervention aside, it proved beyond them. Fatigue and a lack of finesse in attacking positions ensured the after-effects of Anfield lingered for Marco Silva’s team. “We had chances to win it at the end,” the Newcastle manager said, “but they had won four home games in a row so to get a point in this stadium with the way things are going for us was a credit to our players. The application was fantastic. They have top-class players, players with World Cup and Euros experience coming from the bench, so our players have done a great job.” Pickford received a rousing ovation from the crowd before kick-off – responding with an appreciative clenched-fist salute following his error at Liverpool – although the away section was predictably scathing in its reception for the born-and-bred Sunderland fan. The baiting intensified when the England No 1 was beaten from the first Newcastle attack of the game. Ademola Lookman, making his first league start of the season, was dispossessed in the Newcastle half. His appeals for a foul were ignored by the referee as Jacob Murphy raced down the left before delivering a precise cross low along the face of Pickford’s goal. Kurt Zouma and Yerry Mina were unable to intercept and Salomón Rondón steered a powerful finish into the roof of the net at the back post. “It was a foul, possibly two, but that is not an excuse because we had to defend that situation better,” said Silva. Everton, with André Gomes leading a composed display from central midfield, were not unduly disturbed by the setback. The left-wing partnership of Richarlison and Lucas Digne was potent and it engineered excellent chances for Gylfi Sigurdsson and the recalled Cenk Tosun before the interval. Sigurdsson was foiled by a superb block from Federico Fernández while Tosun volleyed straight at Martin Dubravka when picked out by another Digne cross. The home side had levelled at that stage and a 2-1 lead, seconds before the interval, could have change

The Italian and his players departed this tight contest vaguely dissatisfied to have taken only a point having led Leicester City through much of the second half, their mood coloured by the sight of Denis Odoi wastefully scooping a shot over the crossbar in stoppage time. Yet in the cold light of day, the improvements seen here should suggest a brighter future awaits. The weight of the division still bears down on the Londoners but they are not the soft touch they were a few weeks ago. Three games into Ranieri’s tenure and some of the naivety has been drummed out of them. There were long periods while confronting a team with top-half credentials when Fulham even felt in control, their lead established against the run of play but their shape well-enforced thereafter and a threat carried on the counterattack. The frustration, of course, was that all it took was one moment of carelessness with the end almost in sight to undo a lot of their hard work. Lingard earns point for Manchester United after De Gea hands Arsenal lead Read more Leicester conjured their equaliser when the substitutes Demarai Gray and Shinji Okazaki combined slickly down the visitors’ right flank and the latter, allowed space by a disoriented Alfie Mawson, pulled the ball back to the penalty spot. There loitered James Maddison, the classiest attacking talent on the pitch, to dispatch a crisp first-time finish into the bottom corner. The hosts’ wait for a first clean sheet of the season had been extended. “At this moment, when we make mistakes, the big opponents score,” said Ranieri. “But we continue to progress. Slowly, slowly.” This had been an emotional experience for the Italian against the team with whom he claimed the only top-flight title of his managerial career to date. He had offered his tribute to the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha prior to kick-off, acknowledged the chants of the away support and saw four key members of his Premier League winning side start in Leicester’s ranks. Yet, other than a quick “hello” to familiar faces, he concentrated purely on Fulham’s latest opportunity and gained encouragement from much that he witnessed. Fulham could point to the substitute Tom Cairney fizzing a shot just wide of the post while their lead still stood or that late miss by Odoi. Leicester threatened repeatedly in the first half and Kelechi Iheanacho should have scored the game’s opening goal early on. But at the other end Kasper Schmeichel was forced into an astonishing fingertip save to deny Callum Chambers – a makeshift defensive midfielder who seems destined to bring the best out of opposing goalkeepers having tested Chelsea consistently on Sunday – as he belted a volley from Odoi’s nod back towards the far corner.
