Ronaldo recovers from red card misery to help Juve win 2-0

Cristiano Ronaldo shrugged off the disappointment of his midweek sending off to score a late goal as Juventus preserved its perfect Serie A start on Sunday.

Ronaldo pounced nine minutes from time to set Juventus on its way to a 2-0 win at newly promoted Frosinone, which has still to score a goal this season.

It was Ronaldo's third goal in two Italian league games after the Portugal star took a while to get off the mark for his new club following his move from Real Madrid.

Ronaldo had been sent off in Juventus' 2-0 win at Valencia in the Champions League on Wednesday. He came close to scoring early on at Frosinone but was denied by a goal-line clearance from Marco Capuano.

Juventus struggled to break Frosinone down but, just as it looked as though its 100 percent record this season was set to end, Miralem Pjanic's scuffed shot ricocheted into Ronaldo's path and he swept it home.

Ronaldo also sparked the counterattack which led to Juventus' second goal, which was finished off by Federico Bernardeschi.

GIFTS FOR NAPOLI

Napoli seems to be finding its feet under new coach Carlo Ancelotti and Lorenzo Insigne is reveling in his more central role.

Insigne scored twice to help Napoli win 3-1 at Torino in a dominant performance from last season's runner-up.

Torino gifted Insigne the first goal with less than four minutes on the clock. Emiliano Moretti attempted to clear Sebastiano Luperto's cross but it came off Torino teammate Nicolas N'Koulou and straight into the path of Insigne, who drove the ball in under the crossbar.

Simone Verdi doubled Napoli's lead in the 20th with his first goal since joining from Bologna in the offseason. The Italy forward started the move in midfield before passing to Dries Mertens on the left and racing into the area to fire in the return pass.

Torino got back into the game when Andrea Belotti converted a penalty early in the second half after Alejandro Berenguer had been brought down by Luperto.

However, the hosts gifted Napoli another easy goal shortly afterward. Armando Izzo lost possession in midfield to Marek Hamsik, who picked out Jose Callejon. The Spaniard's shot came off the post but Inisgne was on hand to tap in the rebound.

It was Insigne's third goal in two league matches, following a slow start to the season.

FIRST GOAL

Bologna's first goal of the season was worth the wait.

It also led to a surprise victory as Filippo Inzaghi's team upset Roma 2-0.

Bologna hadn't scored in its previous four matches but the hosts got off the mark in stunning fashion 10 minutes before halftime.

Robin Olsen only flapped at Sebastien De Maio's cross and the ball came through to Federico Mattiello near the byline and he cut back before curling a finish into the far side of the net.

Lorenzo Pellegrini should have equalized on the stroke of halftime but blasted over with an open goal and Bologna doubled its tally just before the hour mark.

Federico Santander raced from inside his own half to collect Diego Falcinelli's pass and finish off a swift counterattack.

Roma hasn't won since the opening day of the season and lost 3-0 at Real Madrid on Wednesday.

OTHER MATCHES

Giacomo Bonaventura scored against his old club but AC Milan was held 2-2 by Atalanta following a stoppage-time equalizer by Emiliano Rigoni.

Gonzalo Higuain had volleyed in the opener after 90 seconds for Milan before Papu Gomez leveled early in the second half.

Bonaventura, who also had a goal disallowed on video review, and Higuain both hit the post.

Elsewhere, Lazio picked up its fourth victory in all competitions with a 4-1 win over Genoa, while Udinese won 2-0 at Chievo Verona.

Europa League hangover hits flat Chelsea

The grueling Thursday-toSunday turnaround that comes with playing in the Europa League might already be taking its toll on Chelsea.

By drawing 0-0 at West Ham, Chelsea dropped its first points in the Premier League and failed to score under Maurizio Sarri for the first time this season.

That Chelsea produced such a flat and insipid display at the London Stadium was perhaps no surprise, given six of the starting lineup against West Ham also began the Europa League match against PAOK Salonika in Greece on Thursday

And it probably didn't help that the Chelsea squad only returned from Greece on Friday afternoon after its flight back to London — scheduled for late Thursday — was canceled because of bad weather.

Sarri had already voiced his unhappiness that English clubs playing in Europe's second-tier competition aren't given dispensation to play their next Premier League game the following Monday.

"In Italy, it's possible," said Sarri, who arrived in the offseason from Italian side Napoli. "Here I have to play 64 hours after a Europa League match."

As it was, Chelsea had the early kickoff on Sunday and was neutralized by a West Ham defense that had conceded 11 goals in its first five games.

Even Eden Hazard, who didn't travel to Greece in midweek, struggled.

West Ham squandered the best chance of the game when Andriy

Yarmolenko headed wide late in the second half from point-blank range.

The result left Liverpool as the only team with a maximum of 18 points from the first six rounds. Liverpool travels to Chelsea next weekend for the biggest game of the season so far.

NO ARSENAL HANGOVER

There was no such Europa League hangover for Arsenal, which beat Everton 2-0 for a fifth straight win in all competitions.

Alexandre Lacazette and PierreEmerick Aubameyang scored goals within three minutes of each other early in the second half at Emirates Stadium.

Aubameyang is having to play on the left wing to accommodate Lacazette as the team's central striker, but it is not stopping the Gabon striker from scoring. Since his Premier League debut on Feb. 3, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (16) has scored more goals than Aubameyang's 12.
