ROME (AP) — A penalty kick converted. A backheel flick to set up another goal. And an expert touch to start off a successful free kick scheme. Argentina’s World Cup final standout Ángel Di Maria showed off his many talents for Juventus in Serie A. It still wasn’t enough to prevent the Bianconeri from being held to a 3-3 draw at home by Atalanta in their first match since being penalized 15 points for false accounting. Ademola Lookman scored his third consecutive brace for Atalanta. Paulo Dybala set up both goals either side of halftime for Roma in a 2-0 win at Spezia. Udinese won 1-0 at Sampdoria and Monza and Sassuolo drew 1-1.
