Mauro Icardi inspired a superb comeback win for Inter as Juventus saw their perfect start to the new Serie A campaign shattered at the San Siro on Sunday. Stephan Lichtsteiner had given the champions a 66th-minute lead but Icardi drew Inter level almost immediately then set up the winner for Ivan Perisic 10 minutes later. It was a stunning response from Inter after their midweek Europa League defeat to Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and was barely spoiled by a last-minute red card for Ever Banega for pulling back Alex Sandro. Genoa also saw their 100 per cent start to the season evaporate as goals from Matteo Politano and Gregoire Defrel sent Sassuolo up to third with a 2-0 win.
The game turned in Sassuolo's favour when Lucas Orban conceded a 58th-minute penalty, which Politano converted, and Defrel extended the home side's lead with a brilliant header eight minutes later.
Genoa's misery was completed when Portugal midfielder Miguel Veloso was sent off after receiving a second yellow card four minutes from time.
Fabrizio Cacciatore scored with virtually the last kick of the game to give Chievo a dramatic 2-1 victory at Udinese.
Cacciatore struck in the fifth minute of stoppage time as the Verona side completed a comeback sparked when Roberto Castro equalised with eight minutes remaining.
Colombian striker Duvan Zapata had given Udinese a 25th minute lead after connecting with Emil Hallfredsson's inch-perfect cross.
Marco Borriello scored twice as Cagliari claimed their first league win of the season, 3-0 against Atalanta. Marco Sau scored the other goal.
Crotone moved off the foot of the table after a 1-1 home draw against Palermo. Marcello Trotta gave the hosts a 24th-minute lead before Ilija Nestorovski equalised with a stunning 66th-minute strike.
Elsewhere, Joe Hart kept a clean sheet on his home debut as Torino and Empoli shared the spoils in a dire 0-0 draw at the Stadio Olimpico di Torin
