0 
Chievo Verona came from behind to beat Genoa 3-1 on Sunday and climb to the top ofthe Serie A standings.
Mattia Destro's goal awarded Genoa an early lead, but Davide Moscardelli tied it for Chievo before interval. Michele Marcolini and Sergio Pellissier scored in the second half for the winners.
Juventus scored three times but that was not enough for them to record its first win of the season as gritty Sampdoria, inspired by Cassano rallied for a 3-3 and leave Juventus 15th in the standings.
Brescia beat Palermo to notch up its first win since being promoted this season, but needed an injury time save from Matteo Sereni to secure the points.
Lazio also recorded their first win of the season after beating Bologna at home, while Parma suffered a surprised 2-1 loss at Catania.
Destro scored on his Serie A debut for Genoa after six minutes and it looked like it would be a comprehensive win for the home team as they wasted numerous chances in the first half an hour, but the Flying Donkeys responded well.
Davide Moscardelli brought them level on the stroke of half-time and further goals from Michele Marcolini and Sergio Pellissier in the second half earned them a deserved win which could even have been greater, had they taken their chances better.
Lecce completed a fortuitous 1-0 victory over Fiorentina as La Viola were left to rue wasteful finishing and a linesman's questionable flag.
David Di Michele scored the only goal in the ninth minute, but the hosts were forced to withstand near-constant pressure thereafter.
Goalkeeper Antonio Rosati was in inspired form, Alessio Cerci was the most culpable amongst a host of missed chances and Per Kroldrup had most to complain about when dubiously adjudged offside early in the second half.
In the last fixture of the round, Naples were held to a 2-2 draw by visiting Bari.
