Udinese's Florian Thauvin, center, celebrates after scoring his side's third goal during the Serie A soccer match between Parma and Udinese in Parma, Italy, Monday Sept. 16, 2024

PARMA, Italy (AP) -- Mandela Keita was sent off 19 minutes into his Parma debut as Udinese fought back from two goals down to win 3-2 and maintain its unbeaten start to Serie A on Monday.

Udinese went in 2-0 down at halftime but a header from Lorenzo Lucca and a double from Florian Thauvin took it to the top of the standings after four games.

Thing started promisingly for Parma, with a goal after two minutes. Enrico Del Prato poked home from a corner kick with the Udinese defense static. Ange-Yoan Bonny made it two just before halftime.

Lucca headed home a Hassane Kamara cross to reduce the deficit four minutes into the second half. Thauvin then equalized midway through the second period when he knocked in a header from Keinan Davis.

Keita's red card in the 73rd, just after replacing Matteo Cancellieri, gave Udinese an additional boost and four minutes later Thauvin scored the winner.

Promoted Parma was 12th in the standings.

Lazio and Verona met later Monday to round out the fourth week.
