A review of Wednesday night's Serie A action, as Inter Milan claimed a much-needed win over Torino.
Mauro Icardi struck a double as Inter Milan beat Torino 2-1 to relieve some of the pressure on under-fire boss Frank de Boer.
The Dutch coach has underwhelmed since arriving at San Siro in the summer, and he looked set to drop yet more points until Icardi popped up in the 88th minute to score the winner.
The Inter skipper had sent the hosts ahead when he profited from a Joe Hart blunder, the on-loan goalkeeper spilling the ball into his path as he rushed out, but Torino equalised in the second half through Andrea Belotti.
De Boer's position had been the centre of debate ahead of the game, following the weekend's defeat at Atalanta, which left Inter in the bottom half of the table and with just two wins in their previous seven matches in all competitions.
And as time ticked down it appeared De Boer's future was hanging by a thread until Icardi, who has himself endured a tough time with the Nerazzurri fans recently, beat Hart to grab a precious winner.
Juventus maintained their two-point cushion at the top of the table following a routine 4-1 home win over Sampdoria.
Mario Mandzukic and Giorgio Chiellini headed goals inside the opening 10 minutes before Patrik Schick pulled a goal back for the visitors.
Miralem Pjanic added a third before Chiellini grabbed his second to complete a good night for the champions.
Edin Dzeko continued his hot streak in front of goal with a double as Roma battled back from a goal down to win 3-1 at Sassuolo.
The Bosnia international has now scored 10 goals in as many games and Roma needed his scoring touch after they fell behind to Paolo Cannavaro's 12th-minute header.
Dzeko netted twice after half-time before Radja Nainggolan made the points safe, although Roma's night was soured by a knee injury to their Italy international Alessandro Florenzi.
Crotone claimed just their second point of the season following a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina at a rain-sodden Stadio Artemio Franchi.
The match suffered a long delay due to the weather before Diego Falcinelli fired the visitors ahead only for Davide Astori to deny them a first league win of the season with an 85th-minute equaliser.
In-form Ciro Immobile scored a double as Lazio beat Cagliari 4-1. Balde Keita fired Lazio ahead before Immobile sent them 3-0 up inside the opening half-hour.
Felipe Anderson added a fourth for Lazio after 79 minutes before Wallace's late own goal offered Cagliari some consolation.
Napoli beat Empoli 2-0 thanks to goals from Dries Mertens and Vlad Chiriches while Pescara's miserable run continued as Mattia Caldara scored the only goal in a 1-0 defeat to Atalanta.
Ibrahima Mbaye's own goal prevented Bologna from picking up a first win in five as they drew 1-1 at Chievo, for whom Erick Pulgar scored.
