  "account": "Roma have begun their Serie A season with a perfect record, edging past Torino 2-0 to claim the top spot in the league table. Netherlands forward Donyell Malen was the star of the show, scoring twice, including a crucial goal in the 93rd minute to secure the win. Roma's flawless start, with four victories in their first four matches, highlights their promising season. Meanwhile, Inter Milan kept pace with Roma, securing a 5-3 victory over Udinese. France attacker Marcus Thuram was instrumental in the win, scoring and providing an assist. However, Inter had a tough start when they trailed 2-0 just 16 minutes into the match. Inter's efforts included goals from Carlos Augusto and Nicolo Barella, both from Thuram's assists. Young striker Pio Esposito and Ivorian attacker Ange-Yoan Bonny ensured Inter's good start to the season, scoring in the final stages of the match. Inter will have to contend with the absence of England center-back John Stones, who left the field injured before the game. Meanwhile, Cesc Fabregas' Como climbed to third place after defeating Parma 2-1, with Spanish center-back Jacobo Ramon and Brazilian left-back Kaiki scoring the goals. Elsewhere, Napoli's recent losing streak ended with a 1-0 win over Bologna, thanks to a late goal by Slovakia midfielder Stanislav Lobotka. In other news, Sassuolo's Montenegro midfielder Vasilije Adzic scored a last-minute winner against his former club, Juventus, resulting in their first defeat of the season after a thrilling 3-2 match.",
