• Milan thrashed 5-2 by Sassuolo, Juve lose 2-0 to Monza
• Real Madrid lose ground on Barça after draw with Real Sociedad

Milan and Juventus both fell to home defeats in Serie A, with the defending champions crashing 5-2 at home to Sassuolo before Juventus, mired in mid-table after their 15-point penalty, lost 2-0 to Monza. In the late kick-off, Napoli extended their lead at the top by beating Roma 2-1 thanks to Giovanni Simeone’s late strike.

Stefano Pioli is under mounting pressure as the Milan manager after a fourth defeat in five matches. The hosts were comfortably second-best to Sassuolo at San Siro in a bad-tempered game.
