Serie A: Napoli thrash Sampdoria to maintain perfect start; Roma beat Udinese

Firstpost  

The victory took Napoli back to the top of the table with 15 points from their first five league games under Spalletti. In the late game, Tammy Abraham scored his first home Serie A goal to give Jose Mourinho’s Roma a 1-0 victory over Udinese. After 11 minutes home goalkeeper Emil Audero was fooled when Osimhen mishit a close range volley and had already fallen back across the goal line by the time the softly-struck ball floated into his grasp. “He has helped me, he always gives me confidence and the best way to pay him back is to score goals.” The victory took Napoli back to the top of the table with 15 points from their first five league games under Spalletti.
