Juventus suffers first defeat under Sarri

Lazio came from behind to win by a scoreline of 3-1. Juventus, which had remained unbeaten in its first 19 games in all competitions under new coach Maurizio Sarri, went ahead with a Cristiano Ronaldo goal in the 25th minute. But, Luiz Felipe levelled for Lazio in first half added time.

The game turned in the 69th minute when Juventus right-back Cuadrado clattered into Manuel Lazzari after the latter was sent clear by Luis Alberto’s pass. The referee dismissed the Colombian after viewing the incident on the pitch side monitor. Although Lazzari was at least 30 metres from goal, referee Michael Fabbri judged that he had been denied a scoring chance, amid angry protests from the Juventus players.

Five minutes later, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic latched on to Alberto’s cross to put Lazio in front. Ciro Immobile had a penalty saved before substitute Felipe Caicedo scored a third goal in stoppage time. Juventus (36 points from 15 fixtures) stays second, two points behind leader Inter Milan, which had drawn 0-0.

Ramy Bensebaini scored twice, including a stoppage time penalty, as Borussia Monchengladbach came from behind to defeat Bundesliga holder Bayern Munich 2-1.

With the positive result, Gladbach (31 points from 14 matches) remains on top of the standings. Bayern, which suffered its second consecutive league loss, has 24 points.

Algeria international Bensebaini converted from the spot after Javi Martinez was sent off for bringing down Marcus Thuram in the box.

Paris St Germain’s formidable attacking trio sprang to life after the break to give the Ligue 1 leader a 3-1 comeback win at 10-man Montpellier.

Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi found the back of the net in a space of eight minutes after Montpellier’s Pedro was sent off in the 72nd minute. Courtesy the victory, the French champion moved to 39 points after 16 matches.
