The another gameweek in the Italian Serie A concluded on Monday night with several results altering the state of the league table. Before Venezia and Torino drew the curtains on the sixth round of matches with a 1-1 draw, a handful of the popular outfits gave fans a lot to talk about with their performances in their respective fixtures. For starters, Lazio kept their run of not losing to Roma when playing at ‘home’ in the Derby della Capitale intact by defeating their cross-town neighbor’s in an entertaning 3-2 affair. Shortly after, Napoli consolidated their status atop the table with a 2-0 win over Cagliari.
There was somewhat a sense of normalty with Juventus getting a win following their recent struggles. The Bianconeri defeated Sampdoria 3-2 to pick up their second victory of the season. Serie A defending champions Inter Milan were left to rue a host of missed chances, particularly Edin Dzeko’s missed spot-kick as they were held to a 2-2 draw in the meeting with Atalanta. Last season’s runners-up AC Milan added to their fine form by securing a 2-0 away win over Spezia.
