Second-half goals from Andre Anguissa and Rasmus Hojlund helped Napoli battle back to earn a 2-1 home win over Genoa on Sunday as the defending champions moved top of the Serie A standings, Reuters reported.

Napoli's perfect start to the league campaign was ended by a 2-1 loss at AC Milan last weekend, and Antonio Conte's side risked a second successive defeat before a spirited fightback, which followed AS Roma's earlier 2-1 win at Fiorentina.

Napoli are on 15 points, ahead of Roma on goal difference, with AC Milan, who are away to Juventus later on Sunday, and Inter Milan both three points behind. Genoa, without a league win, are second from the bottom on two points, according to Reuters.

AC Milan's Christian Pulisic missed a penalty and his side had to settle for a 0-0 draw away to Juventus on Sunday, denying the visitors a return to the top of the Serie A standings, Reuters reported.

After Napoli and AS Roma, along with Inter Milan, all registered wins over the weekend, the pressure was on Milan and Juventus to keep pace at the top, leading to a cagey game where Pulisic's error proved costly.

Milan have 13 points, third in the standings and two points behind leaders Napoli and Roma, while Juventus are a further point back in fifth, behind Inter on goal difference, according to Reuters.

Mason Mount's magnificent effort and a first Old Trafford goal for Benjamin Sesko secured Manchester United a 2-0 victory against Sunderland that helps ease the pressure on Ruben Amorim, Reuters reported.

The under-fire Portuguese head coach headed into his 50th match as Red Devils boss in the spotlight after last weekend's bruising 3-1 loss at Brentford.

But Amorim's side responded well in wet and windy conditions against promoted Sunderland, with first-half goals from Mount and Sesko sealing a much-needed victory before the international break.

Recently signed goalkeeper Senne Lammens impressed on his debut as the hosts made five changes, with Mount - another of those brought in - giving them the lead inside eight minutes, according to Reuters.

Inter Milan cruised to a 4-1 home win over Cremonese in Serie A on Saturday, with four different scorers on a rainy night, Reuters reported.

The victory moved Inter level on 12 points with pacesetters AC Milan, Napoli and AS Roma, who all play their sixth league game of the season on Sunday.

Lautaro Martinez started the rout in the sixth minute after latching onto a pass from Ange-Yoan Bonny inside the box and finishing unmarked with ease, according to Reuters.
