RONALDO MILESTONE GOES IN VAIN
Cristiano Ronaldo notched up his fifth goal for his new employers since his headline move from Real Madrid in the 18th minute, ironically helped by a mistake from Genoa's top-scoring Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek. A communications mix-up saw Piatek leave Joao Cancelo's blocked shot for his keeper, but the loose ball fell at Ronaldo's feet and he tapped in to an empty net. This was the 33-year-old's 400th career goal in Europe's top five leagues, making him the first player to reach that tally. Lionel Messi is next best on 389. But Juventus were made to pay for failing to convert a hatful of chances when Daniel Bessa headed in a second-half equaliser to end the Italian champions' perfect start to the season on Saturday.
