Serie A Review
November 12th, 2009 | Author: Ben
If you happened to read my previous Serie A Review, you would know that there were several quality games this weekend including the match between Inter and Roma, and the Milan Lazio game in Rome. Juventus were also hoping to keep up their title ambitions with a win at Atalanta.

Round-Up
A spirited performance from Atalanta ended with no points as Juventus went onto win 5-2 at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia. Camoranesi put the Old Lady 2-0 up with two good finishes but Atalanta nicked a goal back. Juventus got another but once again Atalanta pegged them back. Eventually the quality of Juventus shone through as Diego and a landmark goal for Trezeguet led them to victory.
Fiorentina gained a somewhat fortuitous win over Udinese with an 86th minute freekick that was deflected in by Udinese defender Pasquale. Sampdoria also dropped points and have slipped out of the top three now after slumping to a 2-0 loss to Cagliari. Playing the second half with ten men finally took its toll with late goals from Conti and Matri.
Milan continued their rich vein of form with victory in a hard fought match against Lazio. Thiago Silva managed to score at both ends but fortunately for him, Pato managed to get a second for Milan. Goals from Eto’o and Vucinic gave both Inter and Roma a point but Ranieri complained after of Inter’s bullish tactics when Roma were attempting to play attractive football. Nonetheless, its hard to see anyone but Inter Milan winning the Scudetto this season.
