Nine-man AS Roma suffered their third defeat of the still-young Serie A season today when they went down 1-0 at Siena while Juventus also remain off the pace following a 2-1 home defeat by Palermo.

Roma, runners-up last season, went behind to Mario Frick's goal in first-half stoppage time and lost defenders Philippe Mexes and Christian Panucci to red cards in the second period.

Levan Mchedlidze grabbed the 81st minute winner for Palermo at Juve, who had Mohamed Sissoko dismissed in the first half and have now not won for four games. Udinese are joint leaders with 13 points from six games after Fabio Quagliarella scored twice in a 2-0 win over Torino. Champions Inter won 2-1 at home to Bologna on Saturday to move level at the top with Lazio, who drew 1-1 at Lecce.

Resurgent AC Milan were playing at Cagliari in today's late game.
