Roma and Lazio have both made unbeaten starts to the Serie A season, giving those in the Italian capital dreams of a ScudettoAfter nine games in 28 days, Gian Piero Gasperini finally got a moment to pause and reflect on Sunday night. The Roma manager was back in Liguria, where he worked for the best part of a decade across two stints at Genoa, to collect an award from Stelle Nello Sport – an association formed to promote sport in the region – celebrating his career achievements and commitment to courageous attacking football.The timing worked out well. Gasperini’s Roma thumped Sassuolo 3-0 on Saturday, bouncing back from a midweek loss to Manchester United. That result meant the Giallorossi had scored 31 times in 11 Serie A games. In the last 65 years only two Italian teams – the Juventus and Napoli sides of 2017-18 – had ever made a more prolific start to a top-flight campaign. More importantly, Roma’s victory meant they remained undefeated in domestic competition this season. Just like their neighbours Lazio, who drew 1-1 away to Napoli in Sunday’s early kick-off.

Midfielder’s spectacular strikes rescued a frustrating day, only for celebrations to reignite dialogue that has followed him through his careerIt was just what they needed at just the right time. For a tricky first half and beyond, Elversberg had been a stone in Borussia Dortmund’s shoe, the promoted side not just keeping the home team at bay but keeping them honest, nourishing ambitions of their own. “The fatigue was clearly visible,” said the sporting director, Ole Book, to Sky after a week which had contained Der Klassiker in Munich and a hard-fought Champions League victory over Betis. “We were a bit too focused on managing the game, which was understandable.”Enter Felix Nmecha. BVB have enjoyed a largely excellent start to the season, are unbeaten and level on points with Bayern Munich at the top; Bayern lead, unsurprisingly, thanks to their superior goal difference. It is a gap which has been widened by Dortmund being far from prolific, a facet which looked as if it might undercut their efforts to roll over their visitors on Saturday, especially in the absence of the injured centre-forward Serhou Guirassy.

Pierre Sage led Lens to second and glory in the Coupe de France last season. A lot has changed in the last six monthsThe Lens striker, Florian Sotoca, was completely motionless as he looked into the middle space from the bench. The game, finely poised at 2-1 with a few minutes remaining, was not beyond his side, but that is not the story his troubled face told.Marseille had just restored their lead thanks to a goal from substitute Keyliane Abdallah. Bruno Génésio’s men would go on to take all three points and continue their unlikely charge up the table, but the atmosphere at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis was morose before Marseille had even stepped on the pitch. The match did little to lift the mood at the end of a week in which Lens made unwanted history. Continue reading...
