Samp Snatch Draw, Livorno Held

[Folami David]

Sampdoria twice came from behind in the dying moments to rescue a 2-2 draw at Cagliari while Chievo Verona recovered from an early setback to win their first Serie A game of the season 2-1 at home to Udinese on Saturday.
.
Livorno missed the chance to catch the league leaders after a battling goalless draw at Genoa left the promoted side sixth, level on seven points with Juventus, Fiorentina and Inter Milan who all play on Sunday when pacesetters Napoli visit AC Milan.
.
Fabio Liverani's Genoa moved up a place to 13th with four points after a scrappy affair with few chances although the hosts came closest to scoring in when Emanuele Calaio's point-blank header forced an incredible late save by Francesco Bardi.
.
The last-gasp draw earned by Delio Rossi's Sampdoria thanks to Lorenzo De Silvestri's added- time strike left them fourth from bottom on two points while Cagliari stayed ninth with five.
.
"It was the right result, but it's still annoying going 2-1 down in that situation," said Rossi.
.
"I didn't like how we started but... in the second half we changed and our courage was awarded," added the coach, who was sent off for his wild celebrations after De Silvestri equalised.
.
"I ran over there because I wanted to share in the joy with the lads, I didn't mean to offend anyone."
.
Chievo leapt out of the bottom three up to 13th place after their win, which put them level with Udinese on four points.
