Saturday’s Serie A matches kicked off with Napoli getting yet another victory as they beat Torino 3-1. Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa scored twice in the first 12 minutes to continue his superb form and then Kvicha Kvaratskhelia scored yet another wonderful goal to get the third.

Next up was Roma’s trip to Inter where they fell behind early on to Federico Dimarco’s low shot. Paulo Dybala volleyed Roma level and then Chris Smalling headed in the winner to make it 2-1 and pile more misery onto Simone Inzaghi.

The final game on Saturday was extremely dramatic as Milan beat Empoli 3-1 at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. The Rossoneri only took the lead in the 79th minute but then in stoppage time there was an equaliser from Nedim Bajrami and goals from Fode Ballo-Toure and Rafael Leao.
