Lazio climbed to the top of Serie A<\/a> with a 2-1 home win \u2060over Parma \u2060as Roma \u200btwice came from behind to secure a 3-3 draw with Napoli in a pulsating clash in Naples.<\/p>\n

Lazio have 22 points from their eight matches this \u2060season and are three points clear of champions Inter Milan, who have played a game fewer and host Fiorentina on Sunday. Lazio opened the scoring in the 50th minute as Kenneth Taylor \u2060struck his first of the season, before Parma\u2019s Diego Carlos put the ball into his own net trying \u200bto cut out a cross. The visitors scored a \u200clate consolation through Simone Lontani.<\/p>\n

Third-placed Roma \u200ctrailed 2-0 and then 3-2 late on, so will be pleased with a point in Naples as they preserved \u200ctheir 15-game unbeaten league run that dates back to April. Frank Anguissa\u2019s spectacular overhead kick gave Napoli<\/a> the lead and Scott McTominay doubled the advantage.<\/p>\n

At that stage they were cruising, but two goals in four minutes from Mat\u00edas Soul\u00e9 and Leonardo Balerdi drew Roma<\/a> level. When McTominay added his second in the closing stages the momentum swung back in Napoli\u2019s favour, but Balerdi headed an equaliser for Roma with a minute remaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe maintained \u200croles, positions and our way of playing,\u201d said the Roma coach, Gian Piero Gasperini. \u201cThe goals were of quality. We are fine [with the result], with high morale. Balerdi knows football, has extraordinary \u200benergy and has been a great signing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Como backed up their Champions League victory over Manchester United as Anastasios Douvikas scored twice in 11 minutes for a 2-0 win against Sassuolo. They climbed to fourth in the table.<\/p>\n

In Germany, Maximilian Beier scored in the 80th minute to send Borussia Dortmund top of the Bundesliga table after a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

In a game lacking clear chances, Jobe Bellingham came off the bench and threaded a clever pass for his fellow substitute Beier to score less than a minute later. The narrow victory was Dortmund\u2019s first in the league since mid-September and took Niko Kovac\u2019s side three points clear atop the Bundesliga<\/a> table.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich can return to the top of the table with a win at Freiburg on Sunday but will be without their coach, Vincent Kompany<\/a>, who is being treated in hospital for a mystery virus after collapsing at training on Friday.<\/p>\n

Niclas F\u00fcllkrug scored for the sixth straight Bundesliga match as Werder Bremen won 3-2 at Mainz. F\u00fcllkrug, who returned to Bremen on loan from West Ham in the summer, converted two penalties inside the opening 25 minutes. Ludovit Reis grabbed Bremen\u2019s other goal, while Anthony Caci and Lee Jae-sung scored for the hosts.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig completed a comfortable 4-0 home win over promoted Elversberg. Romulo scored twice while Tidiam Gomis and Christoph Baumgartner also got on the scoresheet. Paderborn\u2019s Rayan Philippe scored in the 88th minute against Hamburg, his parent club, to grab the promoted side a 1-0 victory. Augsburg drew 1-1 with Union Berlin as both sides finished with 10 men. Cologne and Schalke played out a scoreless draw in a match marred by a head clash between the visitor\u2019s Robin Gosens and Soufiane El-Faouzi, who left the field after a first-half collision.<\/p>\n

In La Liga, Atl\u00e9tico Madrid kept up the pressure at the top with a 1-0 win over Deportivo A Coru\u00f1a at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Juli\u00e1n Alvarez struck three minutes into the second half as Diego Simeone\u2019s side extended their unbeaten run to eight matches in all competitions and moved within two points of leaders Barcelona ahead of El Clasico on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Georges Mikautadze, meanwhile, snatched a late 2-1 win for Villarreal in their derby against Valencia, who had Harvey Elliott sent off as both sides finished with 10 men. The visitors came from behind to triumph, leaving Javier Aguirre\u2019s side 19th.<\/p>\n

Pepelu put Valencia<\/a> ahead from the penalty spot in the first half before the American defender Alex Freeman headed the visitors level after 69 minutes. I\u00f1igo P\u00e9rez\u2019s Villarreal had Pape Gueye sent off when the Senegal international hit Jos\u00e9 Gay\u00e0 in the face with his elbow.<\/p>\n

However, Elliott, who is on loan from Liverpool, was soon dismissed for two quick yellow cards for apparent dissent. Mikautadze broke through in stoppage time, racing through and finishing with aplomb to claim the three points.<\/p>\n

In France, Lens came from behind to beat Paris FC 2-1 \u2060with Thorgan Hazard\u2019s 83rd-minute winner taking them to within a point of the Ligue 1 leaders. Lens, who \u2060were runners-up last season, \u2060made \u200ba slow start to the season and fired coach Dino Toppm\u00f6ller after six matches in charge, but under \u2060Yannick Cahuzac they have won successive French league games to advance to 13 points from eight matches. They are one \u2060point behind five clubs who share the lead on 14, including Paris \u200bFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lazio climbed to the top of Serie A with a 2-1 home win \u2060over Parma \u2060as Roma \u200btwice…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-656083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
