Another exciting Italian Serie A fixture is gone and it seems to be pretty unstable except for the head of the league which sees still Napoli leading the train even if Juventus is only one point behind. The Sarri's players completely smashed Lazio in the second half. The First half was a different story with a confidence Lazio who got the lead thanks to De Vrij after only 3 minutes greatly assisted by Immobile. It took till the 43' to Napoli in order to equalize the match with Callejon incredibly left all alone in the box. The Biancocelesti definitely felt the blow because in the next 45 minutes an own goal by Wallace (54'), a great shot by Mario Rui (56') and a nice touch by Mertens (73') sinked the Lazio's ship. Great 4-1, super match by Sarri's team - he also got sent off at 45'.

Convincing 0-2 victory for Juventus in the away clash against Fiorentina. It could have been much different if the VAR didn't call back a penalty that was almost about to be done. Apparently there was an offside before Chiellini touched the ball in that action . Anyway doesn't matter because firstly a great free kick by the former Viola player Bernardeschi (56')and after, a great goal by El Pipita Higuain (86') decided the final result. WE must say that Fiorentina probably deserved more out of this match but the post and a great Buffon helped the Bianconeri to bring back 3 important points.

It's official that Gennaro Gattuso is bringing the Milan's up again! Poker 0-4 against Spal! Double lucky Cutrone who scored two goals in perfect Pippo Inzaghi's style plus a nice shot by Biglia and a powerful strike by Borini! Not much to say except applauding Rino!

Finally Spalleti goes back to smile again! 2-1 against Bologna thanks to Eder who scored after only 2 minutes and after the classic former player goal by Palacio at 25' - in this occasion Miranda did an awful clear practically putting Palacio in the condition of being almost alone in front of Handanovic, goofy move - it was the young talented Karamoh who did an amazing dribbling trick before shooting a precise and powerful strike which beat Mirante at 63'. A nervous Bologna saw Mbaye getting sent off at 68' and Masina at 90'. WE think this is going to be the last season of Donadoni on the Bologna's bench if he will manage to keep his place till the end of the season.

Crotone-Atalanta was played over a really awful pitch which looked like a pool. Teams shouldn't be allowed to play in those conditions but well we guess there's too much business going on so the show must go on. It's hard to give an vote or a judgement to a match played like that so let's say that it was another good point of the Walter Zenga's Crotone against the Bergamaschi. Goals were scored by Mandragora at 80' and Palomino at 89'. Fair enough.

People ! Gallo Belotti (65') finally scored again in Weah style !! Great run towards the goal dribbling few defenders starting from the midfield zone! Great physical effort and power. His goal was the 2-0 against Udinese. The first signature was put on by Nkoulou's header at 32'. The Mazzarri's cure is paying off! 

Classic Ballardini's victory like a pirate!! 0-1 against Chievo thanks to Laxalt who seems to be in an extraordinary moment of form. His goal put the Clivensi in an uncomfortable situation since they are now officially fighting to keep themselves in the Serie A. We will see how it will go. Maran's is sweating cold!

Convincing 2-0 for Sampdoria which was facing Hellas Verona at Marassi's Stadium. Barreto came back to score (50') and again Fabio Quagliarella scored a penalty kick at 85', so far one his best Italian Serie A seasons with 17 goals scored already! Mature.

Exaggerated Roma against Benevento. A 5-2 that almost condemned the Campani to a Serie B relegation. The guests got surprisingly the lead actually with a nice goal by Guilherme at 7'and the first half was only 1-1 after a nice Fazio's header over a precise Kolarov's assist. The second half was much better for the Eusebio Di Francesco's players especially because Cengiz Under started to play seriously with an assist for Dzeko(59') and two goals scored (62' and 75')! The fifth goal was a penalty kick well shot by Defrel who got the duty thanks to a kind concession from Dzeko and company. The Team is coming back together probably.

Only 0-0 between Sassuolo and Cagliari which probably preferred not to hurt each other too much since every result is very critical at this point.
