The thrills and spills of Serie A returned once again this weekend as Italy's top flight clubs continued to get back into the swing of domestic football after the World Cup in Qatar.
League leaders Napoli returned to winning ways after carving out a 2-0 victory against the 10 men of Sampdoria, while Inter dropped points in the title race following Denzel Dumfries' stoppage time own goal in their 2-2 draw at Monza.
Sportsmail takes a look at all the major talking points from Serie A this weekend.

The on-loan Spurs starlet had a great opportunity to show Antonio Conte what he can do in front of goal against Serie A giants Juventus, but he squandered the golden chance to keep his record to two goals from 12 appearances.
Attacking wing-backs have a special place in Conte's heart and the Italian will no doubt want Udogie competing for places at Tottenham. It just seems the full-back is not quite ready yet for the Premier League.

Victor Osimhen helped keep Napoli's grip on the top spot with yet another well-taken goal against Sampdoria, taking his tally to 10 in Serie A.

If Osimhen keeps up his rampant form in front of goal, he could be lauded as the hero in what promises to be a historic season for the Italian giants.

Out-of-sorts Tammy Abraham helped Roma stay in touch with the Champions League chasers as he netted a crucial stoppage time equaliser against Milan.
Abraham's jubilant celebrations showcased both ecstasy and relief as he bagged his fourth of the season - a tally significantly lower than the total he'd managed by this stage of last season.
The ex-Chelsea forward was largely ineffective and vacant throughout the clash against Milan, but perhaps his critics will review his performance a little more kindly after grabbing the late leveller.
