CHIEVO 1 (Pinzi 7)

MILAN 2 (Nesta 81, Nesta 92)



Milan fell behind to the third time in a week to a well worked goal. Bogdani passed a ball out wide to Mantovani, Pellissier touched back his first time cross and Pinzi shot into the corner. Milan rained in crosses in the second half. Sorrentino made great saves from Ronaldinho and Seedorf. Borriello headed a Pirlo cross against the underside of the bar and Nesta flung himself at the ball, smashing his head into the back of a defender as he headed in the equaliser. Seconds into injury time Granoche got a firm header to a Pellisier cross, Dida dived to his left, anticipated a shot towards the bottom left corner, as the ball veered towards the opposite corner Dida flung out his right hand to parry and Thiago Silva hacked clear. Fantastic save. A minute later Pirlo swung a corner to the back post and Nesta headed in off Morero.



If Milan beat Napoli this Wednesday then they really have turned the corner. According to ESPN Milan have opened negotiations with Ajax for Luis Suarez. It's not looking good for Huntelaar.

ATALANTA 3 (Valdes 43 Pen, Tiribocchi 52, Peluso 84)

PARMA 1 (Paloschi 77)



Panucci's volleyball spike sent Atalanta into a half time lead. Tiribocchi ran an across goal and got his bald head onto a cross after Padoin out muscled Garics on the right flank. Paloschi headed Parma back into the game from a corner but Peluso killed off any hopes of a comeback when he turned in Valdes' corner at the near post to seal a thoroughly deserved second successive victory for Conte's men.

BARI 2 (Barreto 11, Meggiorini 69)

LAZIO 0



Almiron dropped a long ball over the top of a square Lazio defence and Baretto flicked past the advancing Muslera. Meggiorini scored within a minute of replacing Barreto, blasting Kutuzov's centre past the overworked Muslera. Dabo was shown a second yellow for a premeditated jumping foul on Alvarez. The striker was, fortune, not hurt.

Red Card : Dabo 82 (Lazio)

Assists : Almiron, Kutuzov





CAGLIARI 3 (Biondini 55, Nene 78 Pen, Lazzari 87)

GENOA 2 (Mesto 20, Floccari 59)



Dessena deflected Mesto's free kick past his own goalkeeper. Dessena arched a pass over a packed penalty area to Agostini, the midfielder's brilliant first touch put him in on goal, Amelia dived at his feet to make a block tackle, the ball whistled across the goal, Jeda intercepted, passed to Dessena, his shot cannoned off the left post and Biondini tapped in the rebound. Floccari punished Lopez's slack clearance to put Genoa back in front. The turning point came when Moretti threw himself into a Cossu shot, the ball struck his arm and the ref sent him off. Very, very harsh. Matri was fouled on the edge of the box, as four Genoa defenders appealed to the ref he waved play on and Lazzari snuck through to score the winner.



Five goals have been scored in four of Genoa's nine league games.
