There was more than enough drama and action in Serie Matchday 9 which concluded on Monday evening. The headline result was AC Milan’s 2-0 win over Juventus which heaped further misery onto Massimiliano Allegri.
There was also a win for Inter, and victories for AS Roma, Napoli and Lazio. Atalanta dropped points though as they let a two-goal lead slip against Udinese.
Saturday’s action kicked off with Inter getting a 2-1 win over Sassuolo thanks to Edin Dzeko netting his 100th and 101st Serie A goals. That was followed by Milan’s 2-0 win over Juventus and then Saturday ended with Bologna 1-1 Sampdoria.
Sunday saw the bulk of the matches where there was a 1-1 draw between Torino and Empoli, wins for Monza and Salernitana, the draw between Udinese and Atalanta, as well as victories for Napoli and Roma over Cremonese and Lecce respectively.
Monday night’s 4-0 victory for Lazio over Fiorentina saw the action come to a close.
