Serie A | Mourinho sees red in day of defeats for big teams

It was the first time since February 1955 that Juventus, Inter, AC Milan and Roma have lost on the same day in the Italian league

Two of the top Serie A coaches are already feeling the pressure after Juventus and Inter Milan lost on a miserable day for some of the traditional greats of Italian soccer.

It was the first time since February 1955 that Juventus, Inter, AC Milan and Roma have lost on the same day in the Italian league. Jose Mourinho, the AS Roma coach, had to be forced off the field after he was given a red card for running on the pitch and shouting at the referee.

Promoted Monza probably didn't expect its first-ever Serie A win to come against Juventus but it managed to beat Massimiliano Allegri's side 1-0. Juventus played most of the match with 10 men following Ángel Di María's red card.

Di María posted an apology on Instagram.

“I wish to apologize to everyone for that inappropriate reaction I had on the pitch,” he wrote. “Having left the team a man down in such a difficult moment of the season made us lose the game. It is purely my fault that we lost. I am so very sorry. I am a professional, but also a human being who makes mistakes and can recognize them.”

Simone Inzaghi is also under pressure after his Inter side was earlier beaten 3-1 at Udinese, for its third league loss of the season in seven rounds.

Napoli remained top of Serie A after inflicting a first defeat of the season on defending champion Milan. Napoli won 2-1 and is one of the two remaining unbeaten teams along with Atalanta, which won 1-0 at Roma.
