Round Four: Every one loves a midweek game, except Juve

Juve were well and truly put to the sword tonight against a rejuvenated Palermo side led by the brilliant Javier Pastore who quite frankly is beginning to look unplayable. The Argentine International scored in the early going before playing a key role in the second as Juve had no response. Inter Milan meanwhile had litte trouble in dispatching of Bari by 4-0 with Samual Eto'o and Diego Milito both hitting a brace each. The Cameroon International was on fire once again down the left channel turning provider for Milito as well as Inter hit the top spot in the division. City rivals Milan however could consider themselves fortunate to take a point away from the capital city against Lazio, who should have been at least a goal to the good at the break. As it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his good form giving Milan the lead but it was short lived as Hernanes fed Sergio Floccari who provided a clever finish to leave Abbiati stranded.

However, despite the big clubs providing entertainment the Serie A table has an unfamiliar look to it tonight with Chievo and Brescia just behind Inter on nine points. Brescia continued Roma's misery with a 2-1 home win while Chievo stunned the Napoli faithful with a 3-1 win in the San Paolo. Cesena however could not keep their unbeaten run going and succumbed to a 2-0 defeat in Catania with hitman Maxi Lopez on the scoresheet.

The Genoa clubs could only however pick up a point a piece midweek, with Sampdoria taking a credible 0-0 draw away from Cagliari, who look strong this season, and Genoa drawing 1-1 with Fiorentina. Udinese's woe continued as they suffered a 2-1 defeat in Bologna while Lecce contnued their positive start picking up their 4th point in a 1-1 draw with Parma. Hernan Crespo did however get on the score sheet for Parma, responding to Jeda's penalty kick.
