CESENA 1 (Defrel 22)
VERONA 1 (Gomez 77)
Hugo Almeida, yes the crap Portuguese striker, headed down a longball for Defrel to give Cesena the lead. Gomez equalised with a looping header.
Attendance : 15,375
Assists : Almeida, Tachtsidis
LAZIO 4 (Mauri 7, Klose 25, Klose 26, Ederson 93)
CAGLIARI 2 (Braafheid 48, Joao Pedro 84)
Mauri reacted to a series of deflections to give Lazio an early lead. Klose scored two goals in a minute. The first from close range after a slow motion counter attack and the second after Cagliari cheaply lost possession.
Disgraceful defending, in particular from Ciani, ended with a shot going in off Braafheid. Pedro set up a tense finish, despite Cagliari being reduced to ten men, and Ciani was again at fault for making a piss poor attempt to challenge Benedetti for a cross but Ederson, on as a late sub, tapped in Candreva's centre. Onazi was involved in the move and it's good to see him back after Matuidi's criminal foul left him with a broken leg.
Attendance : 30,151
Red Card : Ibarbo 73 (Cagliari)
Assists : Klose, Lulic, Lulic, n/a, Benedetti, Candreva

SAMPDORIA 3 (Palombo 27 Pen, Rizzo 43, Eder 78)
FIORENTINA 1 (Savic 45)
Soriano tripped over his own feet to win the penalty. Palombo conceded one at the other end but Rodriguez poor spot kick was saved by Romero. Rizzo equalised from a short corner. He crushed a defender with a brilliant dummy but Neto should have saved his near post effort. Savic headed Fiorentina back into the match on half time. Eder came off the bench to score the game killing goal. Eder ran 70 yards, dribbled in and around Rodriguez and Pizarro before slotting past Neto.

UDINESE 2 (Di Natale 23 seconds, Widmer 40)
GENOA 4 (Marchese 22, Iago 25, Matri 54, Kucka 87)
Di Natale scored after just 23 seconds, a super pass and poorly executed offside trap giving him his 199th career goal. Marchese equalised with a spectacular half volley from the edge of the box. Iago tapped in a rebound to give Genoa the lead but Udinese fought back to go in level at half time. Di Natale played in Widmer on the overlap and he fired first time into the left corner. Matri crashed a centre in off a post and Kucka scored the pick of the goal in a game of great goals with a blockbuster of a right foot shot that violently smashed in off the underside of the crossbar.
Attendance : 10,400
Assists : Kone, n/a, n/a, Di Natale, Iago, Bertolacci
MILAN 0
PALERMO 2 (Zapata 23 og, Dybala 26)
Zapata headed Dybala's corner into his own net and the youngster added a second three minutes later when he shrugged off a feeble challenge to chase down Barreto's through ball and waited for Lopez to drop to his knees before whipping a shot inside the right post.
Attendance : 28,272
Assists : n/a, Barreto

NAPOLI 2 (Higuain 3, Callejon 85)
ROMA 0
Garcia seems determined to hand the title to Juventus as he was deservedly punished for fielding a second string side ahead of the Bayern thrashing. Higuain pounced on a deflected cross to score with a spectacular scissor kick. Higuain curled a ball around a square defence for Callejon to continue his red hot streak in front of goal, last week's miss from a yard out notwithstanding.
Attendance : 30,000
Assists : n/a, Higuain
EMPOLI 0
JUVENTUS 2 (Pirlo 60 fk, Morata 72)
Pirlo dropped a free kick into the bottom left corner. Morata scored a brilliant second after combining with Tevez. He stepped inside a defender, pushed the ball onto his right foot and whipped a shot into the top left corner.
Attendance : 16,000
Red Card : Tonelli 95 (Empoli)
Assists : n/a, Tevez
PARMA 2 (De Ceglie 5, De Ceglie 76)
INTER 0
A brace from fullback De Ceglie gave Parma, the worst team in Serie A, with seven defeats from eight games, their second win of the season and eased the pressure on Donadoni conversely increasing the pressure on Mazzarri. He got in front of the useless Obi to stab in Risoli's cross. Midway through the second half De Ceglie tapped in a rebound.
