• Juventus slip up as Sassuolo claim big win

  Juventus missed the chance to go top of Serie A after they slumped to a 4-2 defeat at Sassuolo.

  The Bianconeri had claimed 10 points from an unbeaten start, but came unstuck at the Mapei Stadium as Sassuolo battled to a second league win.

  After Juve midfielder Adrien Rabiot had fired an early shot wide, Sassuolo took the lead in the 12th minute when Armand Lauriente’s dipping shot squirmed past Juve keeper Wojciech Szczesny.

  The visitors, though, hit back to level within 10 minutes.

  Federico Chiesa sent over a deep cross from the left towards the far post where Weston McKennie was sliding in and Sassuolo defender Matias Vina got the final touch as the ball dropped into the net.

  Manuel Locatelli drilled a low shot just wide before at the other end, Szczesny made amends for his early error with a fine one-handed save from Ruan Tressoldi’s downward header.

  The Polish keeper, though, could do little to prevent Domenico Berardi from putting Sassuolo back in front five minutes before half-time.

  Matheus Henrique rolled the ball across the edge of the penalty area and Berardi curled a fine left-foot strike into the corner to mark his 300th Serie A appearance with a fine goal.

  There were penalty appeals from the visitors when Federico Gatti’s cross struck Ruan Tressoldi on the arm, but the referee’s decision not to award a spot-kick was backed up following a VAR review.

  Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri made two changes for the start of the second half as Nicolo Fagioli and Samuel Iling-Junior replaced Fabio Miretti and Filip Kostic.

  England Under-21 international Iling-Junior looked to inject fresh life into the Juve attack, darting down the left before a deep cross dropped just past the far post.

  Sassuolo remained a threat on the counter, and Berardi slid Lauriente into the penalty area, but his wild shot flew over.

  At the other end, Dusan Vlahovic scuffed just wide of the far post before Juve eventually equalised again with 12 minutes left.

  Iling-Junior flicked down a deep cross at the back post and Fagioli cushioned it into the path of Chiesa, whose deflected strike flew in.

  However, Sassuolo were soon back in front in the 82nd minute. Lauriente’s fierce drive was punched out by Szczesny, and Andrea Pinamonti nodded in the rebound.

  Sassuolo keeper Alessio Cragno kept out Chiesa’s angled shot at the near post before substitute Gregoire Defrel almost scored another for the hosts on the break when his effort cannoned back off the crossbar.

  The fourth goal did arrive in bizarre fashion during stoppage time when Gatti, under pressure from Henrique, knocked the ball back into an empty net after receiving a quick free-kick from Szczesny, who was left stranded out near the corner flag.

• Rafael Leao leads by example to give AC Milan victory over Verona

  AC Milan bounced back from their derby debacle as Rafael Leao’s early goal secured a 1-0 win at home to Verona.

  Seven days after their 5-1 humbling by city rivals Inter, Milan ground out a victory at San Siro which owed more to hard work than any real quality.

  Captain-for-the day Leao struck after only eight minutes, scoring for the third league game running, as the hosts made it four wins from five at the start of the Serie A season.

  Kick-off was delayed by 25 minutes following heavy rain, but Stefano Pioli’s men were quick out of the blocks when the action got under way.

  Christian Pulisic, one of six changes from the team which drew 0-0 with Newcastle in the Champions League in midweek, won the ball on halfway and Olivier Giroud stabbed it forward for Leao to run on to.

  The Portugal international was in acres of space between two exposed defenders and had time to power into the area, steady himself and slide a low finish into the far corner.

  Milan struggled to get into their rhythm despite that fast start and failed to create anything more of note in the first half.

  But Verona, who won their opening two games of the season, have never won a Serie A match against Milan at San Siro and, despite the odd sight of goal, did not look likely to end that run this time.

  Milan goalkeeper Marco Sportiello, playing in place of the injured Mike Maignan, did well to keep out a Michael Folorunsho header after the on-loan midfielder had laid the ball off to Filippo Terracciano and then got on the end of his team-mate’s cross.

  Sportiello saved comfortably from a Federico Bonazzoli volley at the start of the second half, while at the other end substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek went down in the area as he chased a through-ball, but play was waved on.

  Pulisic then turned his man on the edge of the area and got a shot away, but Lorenzo Montipo in the Verona goal was equal to it.

  Montipo kept his side in it again in the closing minutes, diving to his right to deny Yunus Musah after the United States international had been sent clear by Tijjani Reijnders.

  The visitors did not threaten an unlikely equaliser, however, as Milan saw out the victory in relative comfort.

• Ruel Sotiriou helps Leyton Orient to narrow victory over Shrewsbury

  Leyton Orient recorded a hard-fought home victory over Shrewsbury with a solitary goal from Ruel Sotiriou separating the two sides.

  There was a lively and positive start to the game with five corners within the opening eight minutes, the first in favour of the visitors within 16 seconds of the start.

  The Shrews squandered a golden opportunity after four minutes when Max Mata was sent clear but saw his shot blocked by the outstretched foot of O’s goalkeeper Sol Brynn.

  But O’s striker Sotiriou showed the way after 20 minutes when he slammed a shot into the roof of the net for his fourth goal of the season after Idris El Mizouni fashioned the opportunity.

  The second period lacked quality with the visitors, who had not scored in their previous four league matches, showing their profligacy in front of goal with Brynn denying Ryan Bowman and Tom Flanagan.

  At the opposite end, Sotiriou and Ethan Galbraith missed good opportunities to put the issue beyond all doubt for the hosts.
