&lt;p&gt;The race at the top of the Serie A table is starting to take form: Atalanta’s unstoppable run continues with a win in Sardinia to register a streak of 10 consecutive wins for the first time in their history. Napoli and Inter are close behind after two impressive performances. The Partenopei beat Udinese away whilst the reigning Italian champions stunned Lazio at the Olimpico with a historic haul.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, the brilliant run for Fiorentina came to an end at the hands of an increasingly ambitious Bologna guided by their former Coach Italiano, losing for the first time in more than three months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus and AC Milan could not get going as both were held to draws at home by Venezia and Genoa respectively, losing ground in the Scudetto race. At the bottom of the table, there are new hopes for Torino, Lecce, Como and Verona whilst Roma, Parma and Cagliari have more to worry about, with the Sardinians back in the relegation zone for the first time since matchday 5. Monza sit below them, joint-last with Venezia: both clubs are now five points off safety, the biggest distance since the start of the season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Torino &lt;/strong&gt;were back to winning ways after six games, beating Empoli 1-0 with a &lt;strong&gt;rocket &lt;/strong&gt;from&lt;strong&gt; Ché Adams&lt;/strong&gt;. The English forward came on in the second half and scored from &lt;strong&gt;47.71 meters&lt;/strong&gt; out, the furthest in Serie A since Dimarco’s goal against Frosinone in November 2023. This was Adams’ fourth goal of the season, all of them have been scored &lt;strong&gt;off the bench &lt;/strong&gt;and in the second half of games, a sign of his ability to change the game. The Granata had only picked up two points from the last six games and can now breathe in the table as they close down on the top half. On the other hand, &lt;strong&gt;Empoli &lt;/strong&gt;continue to &lt;strong&gt;struggle at home&lt;/strong&gt; with just seven points collected, the third-worst home record of the season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/da0d7474-9812-4d06-9290-42100039386d/Sito_HERO_tor.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s no stopping &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;: with the 1-0 win away to Cagliari, secured thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Nicolò Zaniolo&lt;/strong&gt;, the Nerazzurri have picked up their &lt;strong&gt;tenth league win in a row&lt;/strong&gt;, a &lt;strong&gt;milestone &lt;/strong&gt;never achieved in their history. Gasperini’s side consolidate themselves at the top of the table and will be alone leading the league for at least two consecutive matchdays, another record for La Dea. Zaniolo came on in the second half and took just 97 seconds to find the back of the net, scoring in two consecutive Serie A games for only the second time in his career, attesting to his improving form. There are also signs of progress for his teammate Raul &lt;strong&gt;Bellanova &lt;/strong&gt;who has become an internationally recognised assistman: Grimaldo (15) is the only defender to have provided more assists in the Big-5 European Leagues in the last two seasons than the Nerazzurri fullback (11, including four for La Dea). Atalanta continue to be a &lt;strong&gt;machine away from home&lt;/strong&gt; with five consecutive wins, whilst Cagliari slip into the danger zone of the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8f9ce820-6dbc-49de-9789-b5591b3a136c/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, &lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;beat the hosts with a big show of character. After Udinese took the lead through Florian Thauvin, the Partenopei bagged thrice in quick succession in the second half: first Romelu &lt;strong&gt;Lukaku&lt;/strong&gt;, assisted by &lt;strong&gt;McTominay&lt;/strong&gt;, then came Giannetti’s &lt;strong&gt;own goal&lt;/strong&gt; with help from Neres, then &lt;strong&gt;Anguissa &lt;/strong&gt;put the game to bed by making it 3-1 having been picked out by Simeone. Napoli have had five wins in the last seven &lt;strong&gt;away games&lt;/strong&gt;, second only to Atalanta in terms of best record, thanks to the growth from Big Rom who has picked up 10 direct goal involvements this season (six goals and four assists). For &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt;, this was their third consecutive home defeat: the Bianconeri also hold the sad record for the most number of &lt;strong&gt;own goals&lt;/strong&gt; this season (four).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c3b49f4c-393d-45c5-9e3a-21769f063ead/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Saturday evening, &lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;salvaged a point against Venezia, only making it 2-2 right at the end. The Bianconeri took the lead through &lt;strong&gt;Gatti &lt;/strong&gt;but &lt;strong&gt;Ellertsson &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Idzes &lt;/strong&gt;put Venezia ahead, the&lt;strong&gt; first Indonesian&lt;/strong&gt; to score in Serie A history. It was only in the 95th minute that &lt;strong&gt;Vlahović &lt;/strong&gt;converted a penalty to maintain Thiago Motta’s &lt;strong&gt;unbeaten &lt;/strong&gt;record in the league. This is the &lt;strong&gt;fourth consecutive draw&lt;/strong&gt; for Juve in the tournament, they have only picked up six wins from the first 16 games, a stat not seen since the 1998/99 season. &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, are showing signs of growth but continue to suffer from &lt;strong&gt;dead-ball&lt;/strong&gt; situations, conceding 13 goals in this way, the most in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd&#34; data-image-id=&#34;78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/bdde2158-0f73-41dc-8cd8-46aad48ba4de/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd&#34; data-image-id=&#34;78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lecce &lt;/strong&gt;bounced back after two games without a win by beating Monza 2-1 at the Via del Mare. &lt;strong&gt;Tete Morente &lt;/strong&gt;opened the scoring immediately with his first goal of the season but the Brianzoli found the equaliser thanks to a dramatic &lt;strong&gt;own goal&lt;/strong&gt; from Dorgu. The absolute star of the show was Nikola &lt;strong&gt;Krstović&lt;/strong&gt;, who missed a penalty in the 14th minute but managed to redeem himself by scoring the winner towards the end of the first half. The Montenegran’s record from the spot worsened: three errors out of five penalties taken. With this victory, the Salentini have &lt;strong&gt;scored more than one goal&lt;/strong&gt; in a single Serie A game for the first time since September, registering a positive against &lt;strong&gt;Monza &lt;/strong&gt;who they had never lost in the five previous fixtures. The Brianzoli are &lt;strong&gt;bottom&lt;/strong&gt; of the table on the same points as Venezia and will want to inch closer to safety, currently five points away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c26eede2-e82b-4d9f-ab2e-bf6f51256bc1/Sito_HERO_lec_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Verona &lt;/strong&gt;were back to winning ways with a 3-2 win over Parma at the Tardini, in a thrilling match. Goals from &lt;strong&gt;Coppola&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Sarr &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Mosquera &lt;/strong&gt;cancelled out Sohm`s brace and assured the Scaligeri three crucial points in the fight for survival. Mosquera, top goalscorer off the bench in Serie A with four goals, confirmed himself as Zanetti`s secret weapon. &lt;strong&gt;Parma &lt;/strong&gt;picked up their second consecutive defeat and are &lt;strong&gt;struggling in defence&lt;/strong&gt;: six headers conceded (worst in the league) and no clean sheets at home this season, stats which aggravate the Crociati’s precarious position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8d476141-8ba7-4406-9668-3bc4d8c1efb6/Sito_HERO_ver_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, the Rossoblù won the &lt;strong&gt;Derby dell’Appenino&lt;/strong&gt; against Fiorentina thanks to a goal from &lt;strong&gt;Odgaard&lt;/strong&gt;, consolidating the excellent performance from Italiano`s side. The Emiliani had 16 shots on target in the match, a testament to the huge Felsinei performance, compared to the first Fiorentina shot in the second half coming in the 80th minute. Bologna have picked up their fourth consecutive &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet at home&lt;/strong&gt;, reflective of the Rossoblù’s collective solidity. With 25 points on the board after 15 games, the Rossoblù are keeping pace with last year`s fantastic season and will be dreaming of more European football. This was&lt;strong&gt; Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;’s &lt;strong&gt;second defeat &lt;/strong&gt;of the season: the Viola had not lost in the league since mid-September and had not conceded in the second half of games this tournament apart from the Pulisic goal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/66fa346f-16c6-4bb7-b3af-b0d51509183c/Sito_HERO_bol.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma fell to &lt;strong&gt;Como &lt;/strong&gt;at the Sinigaglia as they picked up a win after 10 games without. The Giallorossi were caught off guard in the second half by Gabrielloni and &lt;strong&gt;Paz &lt;/strong&gt;who secured Como a historic and weighty victory. &lt;strong&gt;Gabrielloni &lt;/strong&gt;opened his Serie A account and became the first player in club history to score goals in &lt;strong&gt;every division&lt;/strong&gt; from Serie D to Serie A. This was &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt;’s fourth consecutive defeat on the road and 16 points from the first 16 games of a season represent a record in the era of three points for a win, evidenced by the fact that Ranieri’s side only had one shot on target against Como.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573&#34; data-image-id=&#34;39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b7d24c48-c78b-4244-84eb-e8a61b389231/Sito_HERO_como_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573&#34; data-image-id=&#34;39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the evening celebrating the &lt;strong&gt;125th anniversary&lt;/strong&gt; of &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt;, the Rossoneri were held to a &lt;strong&gt;goalless draw&lt;/strong&gt; by &lt;strong&gt;Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;who resisted attacks from Fonseca’s men to walk away with a vital point. The Grifone are unbeaten in six games and this was their third &lt;strong&gt;consecutive clean sheet&lt;/strong&gt;. AC Milan, on the other hand, continue to struggle in attack: three of their last four league games have been without goals, as many as in the previous 45 games at the Meazza. With 23 points on the board, the Rossoneri haven’t had such a poor start to a season since 2019/29 and the gap to the top is starting to look daunting. The most positive thing for AC Milan is their &lt;strong&gt;defensive record &lt;/strong&gt;at home, they boast the highest number of clean sheets in the league (six) and have the second-best backline at home in the tournament with only four goals conceded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/44350856-b605-460b-a3a1-4e8448c43bf8/Sito_HERO_mil_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Stadio Olimpico, &lt;strong&gt;Inter &lt;/strong&gt;beat Lazio 6-0 to inflict the &lt;strong&gt;heaviest home defeat&lt;/strong&gt; for the Biancocelesti in their Serie A history. After 30 minutes of level play, &lt;strong&gt;Çalhanoglu’s &lt;/strong&gt;penalty changed the game, given for a handball from Gigot who took over for an injured Gila. After that, Inter ran a &lt;strong&gt;riot &lt;/strong&gt;with five more coming from &lt;strong&gt;Dimarco, Barella, Dumfries, Carlos Augusto &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Thuram&lt;/strong&gt; all starring in the Nerazzurri goal-fest. Inzaghi’s side have picked up three league wins in a row with a total of 11 goals scored away from San Siro. Overall, Inter have set an &lt;strong&gt;all-time record&lt;/strong&gt; for goals scored on the road in the Italian top flight in a single calendar year - 47 total in 2024. &lt;strong&gt;Lazio &lt;/strong&gt;had not lost at home since March and have registered their second defeat in the last three games, they are now six points off the top of the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/9d8dcfda-0db7-494e-85ed-b6c64bf7f1d7/GALLERY.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Review all the goals from Matchday 13, &lt;a data-item-id=&#34;e8deb48a-03e7-4a92-9837-f17af9a34fe0&#34; href=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;click here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

The race at the top of the Serie A table is starting to take form: Atalanta’s unstoppable run continues with a win in Sardinia to register a streak of 10 consecutive wins for the first time in their history. Napoli and Inter are close behind after two impressive performances. The Partenopei beat Udinese away whilst the reigning Italian champions stunned Lazio at the Olimpico with a historic haul.On the other hand, the brilliant run for Fiorentina came to an end at the hands of an increasingly ambitious Bologna guided by their former Coach Italiano, losing for the first time in more than three months.Juventus and AC Milan could not get going as both were held to draws at home by Venezia and Genoa respectively, losing ground in the Scudetto race. At the bottom of the table, there are new hopes for Torino, Lecce, Como and Verona whilst Roma, Parma and Cagliari have more to worry about, with the Sardinians back in the relegation zone for the first time since matchday 5. Monza sit below them, joint-last with Venezia: both clubs are now five points off safety, the biggest distance since the start of the season.Torino were back to winning ways after six games, beating Empoli 1-0 with a rocket from Ché Adams. The English forward came on in the second half and scored from 47.71 meters out, the furthest in Serie A since Dimarco’s goal against Frosinone in November 2023. This was Adams’ fourth goal of the season, all of them have been scored off the bench and in the second half of games, a sign of his ability to change the game. The Granata had only picked up two points from the last six games and can now breathe in the table as they close down on the top half. On the other hand, Empoli continue to struggle at home with just seven points collected, the third-worst home record of the season.<figure data-asset-id="6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b" data-image-id="6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/da0d7474-9812-4d06-9290-42100039386d/Sito_HERO_tor.png" data-asset-id="6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b" data-image-id="6337979f-48e6-4653-a9e3-7560d8c7e47b" alt=""></figure>There’s no stopping Atalanta: with the 1-0 win away to Cagliari, secured thanks to Nicolò Zaniolo, the Nerazzurri have picked up their tenth league win in a row, a milestone never achieved in their history. Gasperini’s side consolidate themselves at the top of the table and will be alone leading the league for at least two consecutive matchdays, another record for La Dea. Zaniolo came on in the second half and took just 97 seconds to find the back of the net, scoring in two consecutive Serie A games for only the second time in his career, attesting to his improving form. There are also signs of progress for his teammate Raul Bellanova who has become an internationally recognised assistman: Grimaldo (15) is the only defender to have provided more assists in the Big-5 European Leagues in the last two seasons than the Nerazzurri fullback (11, including four for La Dea). Atalanta continue to be a machine away from home with five consecutive wins, whilst Cagliari slip into the danger zone of the table.<figure data-asset-id="c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c" data-image-id="c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8f9ce820-6dbc-49de-9789-b5591b3a136c/HL.png" data-asset-id="c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c" data-image-id="c8a37039-43cb-44ad-a54a-a1e1a576d96c" alt=""></figure>At the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Napoli beat the hosts with a big show of character. After Udinese took the lead through Florian Thauvin, the Partenopei bagged thrice in quick succession in the second half: first Romelu Lukaku, assisted by McTominay, then came Giannetti’s own goal with help from Neres, then Anguissa put the game to bed by making it 3-1 having been picked out by Simeone. Napoli have had five wins in the last seven away games, second only to Atalanta in terms of best record, thanks to the growth from Big Rom who has picked up 10 direct goal involvements this season (six goals and four assists). For Udinese, this was their third consecutive home defeat: the Bianconeri also hold the sad record for the most number of own goals this season (four).<figure data-asset-id="7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a" data-image-id="7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c3b49f4c-393d-45c5-9e3a-21769f063ead/HL.png" data-asset-id="7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a" data-image-id="7205400a-a3e5-4571-a9d1-8ff069024b8a" alt=""></figure>On Saturday evening, Juventus salvaged a point against Venezia, only making it 2-2 right at the end. The Bianconeri took the lead through Gatti but Ellertsson and Idzes put Venezia ahead, the first Indonesian to score in Serie A history. It was only in the 95th minute that Vlahović converted a penalty to maintain Thiago Motta’s unbeaten record in the league. This is the fourth consecutive draw for Juve in the tournament, they have only picked up six wins from the first 16 games, a stat not seen since the 1998/99 season. Venezia, on the other hand, are showing signs of growth but continue to suffer from dead-ball situations, conceding 13 goals in this way, the most in the league.<figure data-asset-id="78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd" data-image-id="78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/bdde2158-0f73-41dc-8cd8-46aad48ba4de/HL.png" data-asset-id="78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd" data-image-id="78961a95-9ed0-408e-b1d2-68ed681faffd" alt=""></figure>Lecce bounced back after two games without a win by beating Monza 2-1 at the Via del Mare. Tete Morente opened the scoring immediately with his first goal of the season but the Brianzoli found the equaliser thanks to a dramatic own goal from Dorgu. The absolute star of the show was Nikola Krstović, who missed a penalty in the 14th minute but managed to redeem himself by scoring the winner towards the end of the first half. The Montenegran’s record from the spot worsened: three errors out of five penalties taken. With this victory, the Salentini have scored more than one goal in a single Serie A game for the first time since September, registering a positive against Monza who they had never lost in the five previous fixtures. The Brianzoli are bottom of the table on the same points as Venezia and will want to inch closer to safety, currently five points away.<figure data-asset-id="d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3" data-image-id="d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c26eede2-e82b-4d9f-ab2e-bf6f51256bc1/Sito_HERO_lec_gal.png" data-asset-id="d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3" data-image-id="d999fc29-901e-4064-8eb1-cc9158a098f3" alt=""></figure>Verona were back to winning ways with a 3-2 win over Parma at the Tardini, in a thrilling match. Goals from Coppola, Sarr and Mosquera cancelled out Sohm`s brace and assured the Scaligeri three crucial points in the fight for survival. Mosquera, top goalscorer off the bench in Serie A with four goals, confirmed himself as Zanetti`s secret weapon. Parma picked up their second consecutive defeat and are struggling in defence: six headers conceded (worst in the league) and no clean sheets at home this season, stats which aggravate the Crociati’s precarious position.<figure data-asset-id="c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d" data-image-id="c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8d476141-8ba7-4406-9668-3bc4d8c1efb6/Sito_HERO_ver_gal.png" data-asset-id="c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d" data-image-id="c28274fd-8de5-474a-952f-3e103afea16d" alt=""></figure>In Bologna, the Rossoblù won the Derby dell’Appenino against Fiorentina thanks to a goal from Odgaard, consolidating the excellent performance from Italiano`s side. The Emiliani had 16 shots on target in the match, a testament to the huge Felsinei performance, compared to the first Fiorentina shot in the second half coming in the 80th minute. Bologna have picked up their fourth consecutive clean sheet at home, reflective of the Rossoblù’s collective solidity. With 25 points on the board after 15 games, the Rossoblù are keeping pace with last year`s fantastic season and will be dreaming of more European football. This was Fiorentina’s second defeat of the season: the Viola had not lost in the league since mid-September and had not conceded in the second half of games this tournament apart from the Pulisic goal.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046" data-image-id="7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/66fa346f-16c6-4bb7-b3af-b0d51509183c/Sito_HERO_bol.png" data-asset-id="7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046" data-image-id="7c3bc9c5-4e77-429c-82d7-e1a0c3c42046" alt=""></figure>Roma fell to Como at the Sinigaglia as they picked up a win after 10 games without. The Giallorossi were caught off guard in the second half by Gabrielloni and Paz who secured Como a historic and weighty victory. Gabrielloni opened his Serie A account and became the first player in club history to score goals in every division from Serie D to Serie A. This was Roma’s fourth consecutive defeat on the road and 16 points from the first 16 games of a season represent a record in the era of three points for a win, evidenced by the fact that Ranieri’s side only had one shot on target against Como.<figure data-asset-id="39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573" data-image-id="39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b7d24c48-c78b-4244-84eb-e8a61b389231/Sito_HERO_como_gal.png" data-asset-id="39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573" data-image-id="39773551-f837-4685-b499-0c350610b573" alt=""></figure>On the evening celebrating the 125th anniversary of AC Milan, the Rossoneri were held to a goalless draw by Genoa who resisted attacks from Fonseca’s men to walk away with a vital point. The Grifone are unbeaten in six games and this was their third consecutive clean sheet. AC Milan, on the other hand, continue to struggle in attack: three of their last four league games have been without goals, as many as in the previous 45 games at the Meazza. With 23 points on the board, the Rossoneri haven’t had such a poor start to a season since 2019/29 and the gap to the top is starting to look daunting. The most positive thing for AC Milan is their defensive record at home, they boast the highest number of clean sheets in the league (six) and have the second-best backline at home in the tournament with only four goals conceded.<figure data-asset-id="55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d" data-image-id="55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/44350856-b605-460b-a3a1-4e8448c43bf8/Sito_HERO_mil_gal.png" data-asset-id="55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d" data-image-id="55551329-e991-416f-97de-e8281791c48d" alt=""></figure>At the Stadio Olimpico, Inter beat Lazio 6-0 to inflict the heaviest home defeat for the Biancocelesti in their Serie A history. After 30 minutes of level play, Çalhanoglu’s penalty changed the game, given for a handball from Gigot who took over for an injured Gila. After that, Inter ran a riot with five more coming from Dimarco, Barella, Dumfries, Carlos Augusto and Thuram all starring in the Nerazzurri goal-fest. Inzaghi’s side have picked up three league wins in a row with a total of 11 goals scored away from San Siro. Overall, Inter have set an all-time record for goals scored on the road in the Italian top flight in a single calendar year - 47 total in 2024. Lazio had not lost at home since March and have registered their second defeat in the last three games, they are now six points off the top of the table.<figure data-asset-id="74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4" data-image-id="74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/9d8dcfda-0db7-494e-85ed-b6c64bf7f1d7/GALLERY.png" data-asset-id="74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4" data-image-id="74f03c77-4ca4-40ff-a9d6-4a60d49889b4" alt=""></figure>Review all the goals from Matchday 13, <a data-item-id="e8deb48a-03e7-4a92-9837-f17af9a34fe0" href="">click here</a>.&nbsp;(Photo LaPresse)
