ROME -- Despite the influence of England goalkeeper Joe Hart, Torinos chances of qualifying for Europe are slipping away match by match.Torino surrendered an early advantage in a 2-2 draw at Udinese on Monday that left the Granata in eighth place, four points below the Europa League spots, and on a three-game winless streak.Torino has got to understand that it only takes a split second to go from fourth to 10th place, said Torino manager Sinisa Mihajlovic, who was sent off in the final minutes for protests.In Serie A you can lose or win against anyone. Weve got to play like Toro (Torino).

Zapata got the last touch from close range following a rebound of a header from Mali international Molla Wague.We continue to concede goals on crosses, Mihajlovic said.

Saracens 27-12 SaintsSaracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: We were second-best in the first half. We allowed some things to get under our skin a little bit. Their line speed was tremendous, and we couldnt get any quick ball.We werent quite ourselves in the first half, but I thought in the second half we did a phenomenal job. The most encouraging thing today was that we found a way to win while not being at our best.Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder: I thought we did pretty well for 55 minutes, or so. We put them under pressure, and we defended with the passion and intensity that we needed to.They were spilling ball and we were beginning to get into them, and then a moment of madness, really, from Alex Waller started our downfall.Bath 37-22 Worcester WarriorsBath director of rugby Todd Blackadder: We were certainly put under the pump. Worcester were outstanding in that first half. We let them play around us too easily but well take a lot out of that.It wasnt a rant and a rave at half-time, just about simple things to put our game right -- to carry hard and have really good clean-outs and quick ball.Worcester Warriors head coach Carl Hogg: The game obviously swung on a 10-minute window in the second half when we made back-to-back errors and someone of George Fords quality exploited it.We showed great endeavour in our first two games against Sale and Gloucester, predominantly defensively. But ball in hand we showed real threat and looked very lively. In the second half we didnt get so many opportunities. We did enough to get something out of the game.Exeter Chiefs 36-25 HarlequinsExeter director of rugby Rob Baxter: I cant deny that we were told before the season started that if you flash a foot in a ruck and connect with a persons head then a red card may follow. Tomass [Francis] shin appeared to catch Danny Care on the back of the head.We have been under a bit of pressure after two losses but it was fantastic to win and get a bonus point as well. Luke [Cowan-Dickie] is playing flat out, he is bang on form and hopefully he can take that form into the Autumn Internationals.Harlequins boss John Kingston: We gave away two soft tries in the middle of the first half when we were 6-5 up. One of them was a simple overthrow and the second came from poor tackling from the first phase.It was very difficult to come back from there and we didnt start the second half as well as we would have wanted. It was a question of too little, too late and the bottom line is that we were ppunished for too many errors at key points.ddddddddddddale Sharks 13-26 Gloucester RugbySale director of rugby Steve Diamond: We were second best by a country mile tonight, we just couldnt get any control. When we got control of field position our basic skill let us down.We lost [Dan] Mugford in the second half and weve got a nine playing 10 so that confused the issue a little bit, but I thought we were playing quite well there. The most disappointing thing in the second half was that when we got to within four points, we gave those soft penalties away.Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys: Weve obviously been very disappointed with the two results this season. We knew coming to Sale we had to be very strong defensively and we knew we had to be disciplined.Although we gave away too many penalties, our defensive maul was absolutely outstanding and for me that was the winning of the game, along with our general defence.For us, weve got 12 players unavailable in game three of the season and weve said so many times to be competitive in this league you need a depth to your squad.Wasps 70-22 Bristol rugbyWasps director of rugby Dai Young: I was really pleased,clearly to score 70 points youve got to have done quite a lot right.Three wins on the bounce and 14 points from a possible 15 so you cannot ask much more at this stage, but theres lots of scope for us to improve.Bristol director of rugby Andy Robinson: We knew we were going to have games like this.You have to understand we are playing a top three side and this is the gulf between us and a top three side.They were streetwise and they had physicality. But I have confidence these players can make the improvement.Newcastle Falcons 13-14 Leicester TigersNewcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards:We came away with a bit of a tanking at Bath last week, so turn it round in the manner we did today was pleasing in many ways.We should have won the game and clearly the lads are disappointed, but there is an element of pleasure in the way the guys have bounced back from what was a pretty tough lesson.Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill: If wed have lost today then no complaints because we didnt play well enough to take them out of the equation.Everybody is embracing the new way we want to play but sometimes it just isnt clicking.Weve got to be a lot better next week when we play Bath.
