Mourinho and Spalletti sent off for Napoli's first misstep
Mourinho was sent off eight minutes before the end.

He was also penalized in the first half.

The Napoli coach was penalized for a cynical applause towards referee Massa.
The biggest chance of the match in Stadio Olimpico was for Napoli.
Victor Osimhen hit the post after an hour of play.
Rick Karsdorp played the entire match at Roma.
Napoli had won the first eight league games of this season.
Spalletti's team remains the leader, but now has as many points as number two AC Milan, which won 2-4 at Bologna on Saturday.
Napoli leads the pack because of a better goal difference.
Roma are fourth and nine points less than the two top teams.
Earlier in the day, Giovanni Simeone gave Hellas Verona a 4-1 win over Lazio.
The son of Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone scored all four goals for his side.
