ROME -- Juventus conceded a goal after just 19 seconds then recovered to beat AC Milan 3-2 Sunday and remind the rest of Serie A that it intends to win a third straight Italian league title. Juve had come away with draws from its three biggest matches thus far this season, against Inter Milan in the league and vs. FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray in the Champions League, but the Bianconeri were in far better form this time -- save for the first and last minutes. "We did well to bounce back and we played a good match against a solid Milan," Juve manager Antonio Conte said. "The result was good but we still need to improve our performance. Weve been allowing a bit too much for a while now." Napoli also stayed within striking distance of Serie A leader Roma with a comfortable 4-0 win over promoted Livorno. Juventus and Napoli are both two points behind Roma, which faces Napoli after the break for national team fixtures. Milan is 13 points behind in a tie for 12th with promoted Livorno. Napoli also entered the weekend with questions over its form following a 2-0 midweek defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League. "We knew this was a difficult match after the loss to Arsenal," Napoli manager Rafa Benitez said. "We showed the character that I was talking about during the week." On Saturday, Francesco Totti scored twice as Roma won 3-0 at Inter Milan to extend its winning start to seven matches. The Giallorossi have scored 20 goals and conceded just one. In Sundays other matches, it was: Bologna 1, Hellas Verona 4; Catania 1, Genoa 1; Lazio 0, Fiorentina 0; Parma 3, Sassuolo 1; Sampdoria 2, Torino 2; and Udinese 2, Cagliari 0. In Turin, Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari took advantage of an errant shot from Antonio Nocerino to deflect the ball in with one touch in the matchs first chance. Andrea Pirlo equalized in the 15th with a curling free kick that appeared to surprise Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati. Out of respect for his former club, Pirlo did not celebrate. Milan defender Philippe Mexes punched Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini in the 50th as the players jockeyed for position inside the area. The referee did not see what happened but TV replays will likely be used to hand Mexes a lengthy ban. Sebastian Giovinco gave Juve the lead in the 69th, dribbling past two defenders before beating Abbiati with a precise shot two minutes after he came on for Fabio Quagliarella. As luck would have it, Mexes was sent off for his second yellow card in the 74th and Chiellini scored in the 75th with a rebound of another free kick from Pirlo that bounced off the crossbar. Muntari pulled one back for Milan in the 90th with a long shot that was deflected by Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, leaving goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon fuming. Milan, which was without the suspended Mario Balotelli, nearly equalized in added time but Cristian Zapatas header from a corner sailed high. In Naples, Goran Pandev put the hosts ahead three minutes in, Gokhan Inler doubled the lead in the 26th, Jose Callejon added another in the 54th and Marek Hamsik scored his fifth of the season in the 83rd. Pandev finished off a counterattack after getting set up by Belgium midfielder Dries Mertens and Inler found the target with a long and powerful shot that Livorno goalkeeper Francesco Bardi should have stopped. Callejon scored from within the area after getting set up by Pandev and Hamsik finished off another swift counterattack that followed a Livorno corner by knocking in a rebound. Hellas Verona, back in the top division for the first time in 11 years, moved into fifth place, eight points behind Roma, after getting goals from Fabrizio Cacciatore, Juan Manuel Iturbe, former Italy forward Luca Toni and Jorginho. The start of the match was delayed for 20 minutes because Veronas bus was held up by fan clashes outside the stadium. Antonio Cassano, another former Italy forward, scored one goal and set up two others as 10-man Parma won a regional derby. A minute of silence was observed before each match to mourn the 100-plus African migrants killed in a shipwreck off the Italian island of Lampedusa on Thursday.

Each team scored within the first minute of the middle stanza. Soderberg tied the game just 17 seconds into the frame as he deflected Reilly Smiths point shot in front. The puck trickled through Berniers pads and Soderberg swiped it into the net for a power-play goal. Kessel raced into the offensive zone and sent a pass from the right faceoff dot to van Riemsdyk, who tapped the puck through the pads of Rask from the slot for a 2-1 score 31 seconds later. Kessel extended Torontos lead to 3-1 on the power play as he skated up to the left circle and wristed a shot off the pipe and past Rask at 9:45.
