Serie A Shake-Up: Inter's 5-3 Comeback Stuns Udinese

Inter Complete Stunning Comeback to Go Joint-Top

Inter produced a remarkable second-half performance to fight back from two goals down and beat Udinese 5-3 on Monday, maintaining their perfect start to the Serie A season alongside Roma. According to reports, both sides now sit on 12 points from four matches, sharing top spot before their highly anticipated encounter at the Stadio Olimpico.

The night began disastrously for the champions. James Abankwah headed home unmarked after nine minutes to stun the home crowd, and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp doubled the visitors' lead with a close-range finish seven minutes later. At 2-0 down inside 16 minutes, Inter looked shell-shocked.

But the response was emphatic. Carlos Augusto sparked the revival with a long-range effort that flew into the bottom corner, before Nicolò Barella levelled ten minutes before half-time. The turnaround was completed in the 59th minute when Marcus Thuram netted from inside the box after Andy Diouf's cutback from the byline. Francesco Esposito added a fourth and Ange-Yoan Bonny made it 5-2 with 11 minutes remaining, before Udinese pulled one back late on to set up a tense finale.

The result leaves Inter level on points with Roma, who won 2-0 at Torino. Como moved up to third on 10 points after beating Parma 2-1, completing a fascinating weekend in Italy. For those looking to stay ahead of the curve, our Serie A predictions offer detailed analysis of every matchday.

PSG Edge Brest as Ferran Torres Shines

In Ligue 1, PSG finally claimed their first win of the season, beating Brest thanks to a moment of brilliance from Ferran Torres. The Spaniard scored the only goal of the game, his sixth in five appearances for his new club, after a slick team move involving João Neves and Ousmane Dembélé.

According to reports, Dembélé lured in Raphaël Le Guen before eliminating him with a mesmeric first-time back-heel into the path of Torres, who passed the ball into Egil Selvik's bottom-left corner from 25 yards. The goal arrived just four minutes in, and the Stade Francis Le-Blé anticipated a show of force from the champions.

However, Luis Enrique had described PSG's start to the Ligue 1 season as catastrophic, and while the win was welcome, the performance was far from convincing. A comfortable 6-1 win against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League last Wednesday signalled a return to form, but the Parisians remain a work in progress.
