Juventus, with goals from Llorente and Tevez are beginning to ease into form as their new striker partnership find their feet. Llorente, who wasn't fit at the start of the season, has really found life in Italy to his liking now and himself and Tevez are linking up very well in the last few games. Hopefully for Juve more goals will flow, especially with important Champions League games to come.
Roma had the chance to return to the top of the table on Monday but after having most of the possession just couldn't find a way past Cagliari goalkeeper Vlada Avramov, who had an inspired night with a string of high quality saves. Roma manager Rudi Garcia was sent to the stands in the second half, presumably for something he said to either the referee or his assistant.
Shock defeats for both Napoli and Fiorentina, to both Parma and Udinese respectively, Antonio Cassano the Parma goalscorer. Marek Hamsik started on the bench for Napoli, but when he came on after the hour mark he had to be replaced only 10 minutes later with an injury, and now looks likely to miss their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
Inter had a poor performance away to Bologna, a 1-1 draw, with a goal from Jonathan.
Sassuolo continued their fine form with a 2-0 home victory against Atalanta, with goals from that man Domenico Berardi and Simone Zaza.
Sinisa Mihajlovic started his reign off with a 1-1 draw with Lazio, however that only tells half the story. Sampdoria had Nenad Krsticic sent off after picking up two yellow card by the 46th minute, but when Soriano scored to put the 10-men 1-0 up it looked like they might pull off an unlikely victory. However, in the 94th minute Lorik Cana popped up to break Samp hearts. More pressure will be heaped on Lazio boss Vladimer Petkovic after this performance.
Milan's game against Genoa turned nasty at the end of their 1-1 draw after the teams Ultra fans protested. Both Kaka and Cristian Abbiati had to speak to them and try to calm them down. The pressure keeps piling up on Allegri from all sides, it just remains to be seen what happens from here.
