Roma missed the chance to move to the top of Serie A as they were held to a 0-0 draw at third-placed Sampdoria, who successfully extended their unbeaten start to the season. Sergio Romero was Sampdoria's hero with an outstanding save late on to prevent the Giallorossi snatching all three points in Genoa. Roma failed to score for the first time this season but will have been happy just to have kept a clean sheet against unbeaten Sampdoria following Tuesday's 7-1 Champions League mauling at the hands of Bayern Munich. Roma's Alessandro Florenzi can't believe his header was kept out by Sampdoria keeper Sergio Romero
