GENOA, Italy (AP) Former Italy international Antonio Cassano inspired Sampdoria to a 3-2 win over Genoa in a wild derby as Serie A resumed on Tuesday after a holiday break.

On Tuesday, Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone asked Cassano to go with him to a dinner being held in his honor that would also include the presentation of an award to Antonio. How nice.
