Serie A Matchday 3 - Review!

Fiorentina vs Sampdoria

Marc:

This was a game largely dominated by Fiorentina but Sampdoria snuck away with the 3 points. Quagliarella scored a penalty just before half time. Vlahovic got the equaliser for Fiorentina in the 71st minute only to concede a late winner in the 85th minute by Verre with a smooth finish. A disappointing result in what could be Chiesa's last match in a Fiorentina jersey with a move to Juve impending.

Sassuolo vs Crotone

Marc:

Sassuolo strolled past Crotone in an easy win to make it 7 points in 3 games. Dominico Berardi scored the first before Nwankwo equalised with a penalty. Man on fire Caputo scored a brace and Locatelli added the icing on the cake with a fourth. Superb performance and a team to watch out for.

Udinese vs AS Roma

Marc:

Roma won a really close game with Pedro scoring his first goal for his new side. A closely fought game with Dzeko returning to the side. Kevin Lasagna had plenty of chances to score for Udinese but failed to convert. Udinese now sits at the bottom with 3 losses in 3 games and Roma have won 4 points in 3. Both sides have to step up.

Atalanta vs Cagliari

Marc:

This was another expected performance from Atalanta and they go top of the Serie A table with 3 wins in 3 games. Muriel, Papu Gomez, Zapata, Pasalic and Lammers were on the score sheet for Atalanta. Godin scored his first goal in new colours for Cagliari and Joao Pedro added a second in vain. Atalanta is a real Serie A contenders this season. Watch out for them.

Benevento vs Bologna

Marc:

Benevento pulled off an upset against Bologna who has been very disappointing so far this season. A Lapadula goal was the only highlight in a game which was dominated by Bologna for most parts but just didn't have the end product. Benevento is now at 6 points in 3 games whereas Bologna is at 3.

Lazio vs Inter Milan

Marc:

This was a topsy-turvy game ending all square at one apiece. Both sides saw red with Immobile and Sensi getting sent off. Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring with a clever turn and sharp strike. Milinkovic-Savic scored the equalizer for Lazio with a clean strike. Lazio really has to step up as they're dropping out of title contention.

Parma vs Hellas Verona

Marc:

A relatively slow game with Kurtic scoring in the 1st minute of the game. A very competitive match from there on but Parma walked away with the 3 points. Parma sits at 6 points in 3 games and Hellas are at 3 points in 3.

AC Milan vs Spezia

Marc:

Another dominating performance from the Rossoneri to make it 3 wins out of 3. Leao scored an impressive brace with assists from Kessie and man in form Calhanoglu. Theo also scored a goal and is proving to be one of the best-left backs in the world. Spezia had nothing to show and have only 3 points in 3 games. Milan is looking really good this season. And might just be title contenders.
