ROME -- Napoli and Roma remained perfect atop Serie A with key wins, Inter Milan thrashed Sassuolo 7-0, and two-time defending champion Juventus struggled at times before edging Hellas Verona 2-1 in a busy Sunday of the Italian league. Napoli came away from the San Siro with a 2-1 victory over AC Milan with goals from Miguel Britos and Gonzalo Higuain, while Mario Balotelli failed to convert a penalty kick for the first time in his career. "We worked really well as a squad today and I think thats our strength," new Napoli coach Rafa Benitez said. "Were still starting this job and we allowed a lot defensively tonight but beating a big squad like Milan at the San Siro is important." Roma beat rival Lazio 2-0 in the city derby, with fullback Federico Balzaretti scoring the decisive goal and the Giallorossis 36-year-old captain Francesco Totti again proving decisive. In the lunchtime fixture, Diego Milito scored twice on his return from injury as Inter thrashed its recently promoted opponent amid news that Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir is closing in on a takeover of the club. Juventus came from a goal down in Turin to edge visiting Verona with goals from Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente, while Mati Fernandez and Giuseppe Rossi scored as Fiorentina won 2-0 at Atalanta. Also, it was: Catania 0, Parma 0; and Bologna 1, Torino 2. Through four rounds, Napoli and Roma are two points ahead of Juventus, Inter and Fiorentina. In Milan, Britos put Napoli ahead six minutes in with a header following a free kick and Higuain doubled the lead in the 53rd with a long, low shot that Rossoneri goalkeeper Christian Abbiati got a hand on but wasnt able to stop. Balotelli was 21-for-21 in his professional career from the penalty spot but Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina blocked his effort in the 61st after the striker was dragged down by Britos. Balotellis shot wasnt perfectly placed to the corner and Reina guessed right as he lunged to his right. "We knew Mario was very strong at the penalty lottery and we were a bit lucky," Reina said. Balotelli was unfortunate again in the 71st when he hit the crossbar, although he finally found the target in added time with a splendid, curling, long-range effort. Still, Milan dropped eight points back, and Balotelli picked up his second yellow card after the final whistle, for protests, and will miss the Rossoneris next match. In Rome, two days after extending his contract for two more seasons, Totti provided the cross in the 63rd when Balzaretti volleyed in for his first goal in Serie A since April 2011, when he played for Palermo. Seconds before his goal, Balzaretti hit the post. Lazios best chance at the Stadio Olimpico came when the ball bounced just wide off Miroslav Kloses thigh in the 55th. Lazio was reduced to 10 men when Andre Dias was sent off for a last-man foul on Totti in the 82nd. New signing Adem Ljajic earned and converted a penalty for Roma in added time. Lazio had won four of the last five derbies, including a victory in last seasons Italian Cup final, which left Roma and its fans despondent throughout the summer. "We put the church back in the centre of town," Romas new coach Rudi Garcia said, using a proverb from his native French tonque. "It was a huge match for us and for our fans and like I said, You dont play the derby, you win it." In Turin, Fabrizio Cacciatore gave Verona the lead in the 36th. Tevez equalized with an angled shot in the 40th for his third goal in three league matches and Llorente, who was growing unhappy after playing only one minute previously this season, scored the winner with a glancing header in first-half added time following a cross from Arturo Vidal. However, Juventus risked conceding an equalizer to the end and failed to dominate for its third successive match, following draws with Inter last week and at FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. Inters victory marked only the third time in Serie A that a team won 7-0 away, after Juventus beat Pro Patria in 1950 and Udinese routed Palermo in 2011, prompting Delio Rossi to be fired. Padova and AC Milan hold the record with 8-0 wins in 1949 and 1955, respectively. "Im sorry about the result," Inter coach Walter Mazzarri said. "We tried to hold ourselves up but there were vertical spaces left wide open." Rodrigo Palacio, Saphir Taider, Ricardo Alvarez and Estaban Cambiasso also scored for Inter, and defender Raffaele Puccino added an own goal. Milito, who came on in the 54th, had been out since injuring his left knee in February. Having moved from Napoli, Mazzarri has made an immediate impact with Inter, which finished ninth last season with 16 losses. The Nerazzurri have yet to lose this season. "This was an important mental test, to move from Juventus to Sassuolo," Mazzarri said. "Someone could have thought about doing things slightly less well but everyone was focused." Palacio put Inter ahead seven minutes in following a cross from Yuto Nagatomo, Taider scored his first goal with Inter in the 23rd by redirecting a rebound from Palacio and Puccino made it 3-0 in the 33rd when he tried to beat Taider to the ball but ended up putting it in his own net instead. Alvarez made it 4-0 with a rebound of a shot from Palacio in the 53rd. Milito replaced Palacio a minute later and needed just nine minutes to score, taking a cross from Alvarez and redirecting it in from close range. "I broke down when he scored that goal," Mazzarri said. "Hes an exceptional kid." Cambiasso found the target with a long shot in the 75th and Milito scored again in the 83rd after taking a pass from Fredy Guarin. Bernie Kosar Browns Jersey .

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry, In Saturdays game between Detroit and Ottawa, some Red Wing players - especially Pavel Datsyuk - were the recipients of some vicious checking by Ottawa. Late in the game, Datsyuk received an elbow to the jaw from Jared Cowen. Datsyuk will miss at least two games and possibly more. The NHL described the hit as accidental and stated that Cowen will not be punished. If we want to clean up the game and protect star players as the NHL professes to do, are they not being hypocritical - especially when hits to the head occur? Perhaps the impending law suit might awaken them from their slumber? Tony Boodhoo, Ingersoll --- Hey Kerry, As a former amateur official, I always enjoy your articles. Wondering about your take on the non-call on Jared Cowens elbow/forearm to the chin of Pavel Datsyuk. Looked to me to be a clear fly by elbow from Cowen as he skated by Datsyuk who had pulled up along the boards. I assume the on-ice officials did not see it has it was quick and sneaky, but no doubt deliberate. I dont understand why there was no discipline from Player Safety. Datsyuk has missed two games as of this email waiting for symptoms to clear. Isnt this the kind of gratuitous and deliberate head shot the League is trying to remove from the game, coincidentally on the eve of the concussion class action suit? Thanks for your thoughts and keep up the good work. David W. Barton ---Hi Kerry, Can you help the hockey world understannd how Jared Cowens elbowing Pavel Datsyuk in the face was neither penalized on the ice and was not suspended for it? Datsyuk has what appears to now be a concussion, missing his second game.dddddddddddd. The league has made an issue of hits to the head, and this to me appears as blatant as they come. If you havent seen it, here it is: Pavel is a several time Lady Byng winner, and one of the best players in the world, and the message sent from the league is its open season again on star players. I just dont get it anymore with these attempts to injure and non calls. Thanks! Tom from Los Angeles Tony, David and Tom: By describing Jared Cowens extended elbow on this play as accidental, we are led to believe that Cowen didnt intend to make contact with Pavel Datsyuks chin/head. That might be the case, since no one other than Jared Cowen knows his true intention. The penalty was most likely missed by the referee since the hit was late and well after Datsyuk had dished the puck up the wall to Brendan Smith at the point. This resulted in a natural shift in the refs focus of attention. A more detailed explanation of the incident and utilizing language from Rule 48.1 (iii) to describe why a suspension did not result from the play might go something like this: Jared Cowen set up to attempt a legal shoulder check on Pavel Datsyuk. Datsyuk became aware of the impending contact and materially changed the position of his body (stopping/pulling up) and his head (dropped/lowered) prior to or simultaneously with the hit in a way that significantly contributed to the head contact. Jared Cowen recognized that his intended legal contact was going to be avoided by Pavel Datsyuks material change in body/head position and Cowen extended his elbow thereby striking Datsyuk in the head. The Player Safety Committee might have concluded that Jared Cowen extended his elbow in a reflex move and as a byproduct of Pavels last second avoidance to being hit thereby deeming it accidental. We know from previously broadcast decisions the language of Rule 48 is often referred to and utilized as a reference and guideline by the PSC. I say its time to alter the thought process in situations such as this. No matter how you spin it, the irrefutable evidence is that Pavel Datsyuks head became the sole point of contact when Jared Cowen made a poor decision to extend
