Inter and Roma Stay Perfect as Serie A's Early Pace Setters Separate

Inter fought back from two goals down to beat Udinese 5-3 on Monday, preserving a perfect start to the Serie A season alongside Roma at the top of the table, according to the Guardian's European football roundup. The same report places Como third, an early positioning that few foreign desks would have predicted when the campaign opened.

The weekend's other result carried more weight for the established order: Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2, the Guardian reported, in a round that also saw Napoli in action. Taken together, the results describe a table in which the sides expected to set the pace have already dropped points while two of last season's outsiders have not.
