adminINTER Milan’s Argentine players scored five goals to help their side to a superb 7-0 win at Sassuolo in Serie A. Diego Milito grabbed two in his first game in seven months following injury, while Rodrigo Palacio, Ricky Alvarez and Esteban Cambiasso also netted. Walter Mazzarri’s side remain unbeaten in the league this season after four games, having won three and drawn one.
Roma maintained their 100 percent record with a 2-0 victory over Lazio.
Federico Balzaretti scored the opener in the Rome derby when he met Francesco Totti’s cross with an angled volley at the far post, before Adem Ljajic scored from the spot in stoppage time.
Lazio’s Andre Dias was sent off three minutes after coming on for blocking Totti late in the second half.
Roma lead Serie A with a maximum 12 points from four games, just ahead of Napoli on goal difference.
Rafael Benitez’s side are the only other team to still hold a 100 percent winning record after earning a 2-1 win at AC Milan.
Elsewhere, Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente scored for champions Juventus in their 2-1 win over Verona. They have 10 points along with Inter and Fiorentina, who recorded a 2-0 victory at Atalanta.
Meanwhile, Gareth Bale faces a wait to see if he will be fit enough to make his Real Madrid home debut in next weekend’s derby against Atletico Madrid.
Bale was set to make his Bernabeu debut against Getafe on Sunday, but pulled out of the starting XI after injuring his thigh in the pre-match warm-up.
The Welshman, who signed from Tottenham for a world-record fee of £85m in the summer, had a scan yesterday.
“Fatigue in the left thigh muscle was found. It will be treated,” said Real.
Bale, who was replaced by Spain international Isco minutes before the start of Real’s 4-1 win, is likely to miss tomorrow’s La Liga trip to newly-promoted Elche.-BBC.
