Ends 2-2. Even though he got the equaliser not a great night for Zlatan, goal disallowed due to a handball from him and he blazed a pen over the bar.

Milan's form was always going to end as they are outperforming the squad's ability post lockdown but a bad week for them heading into the International break.

Jeysus Ide hate to see how harsh you are on the teams not top of the league

It's becoming increasingly apparent that it wasn't Juve who were stopping Inter from winning titles in recent years, it was just simply Inter stopping themselves. This Conte project seems to be done already, now it's just a countdown to the messy goodbye, disappointed because I had such high hopes for him but seems even he can't overcome the Inter malaise. :mad:

Cienciano

Napoli appeal rejected. Napoli really made a bollocks of it.

The rest of the chasing pack didn't cover themselves in glory either. AC seem to have only gotten their s*** together by accident

Think it's too early to say that. They're only 5 points off the top and Milan are away at Napoli next. Every chance Inter could be 2 points off the top after the next round if they beat Torino. I think it's an open race at the moment but I'd be more confident of Juve putting a run together.

Maybe, just feeling very pessimistic after such a sluggish start, thought they were getting it together last season but feel the Europa League loss was quite damaging to morale and recruitment wasn’t great, time will tell.

Great header from Ibrahimovic to put Milan ahead at Napoli. Beat Koulibaly to it.

Good young team behind him but if Zlatan spearheads Milan to a Scudetto this season at his age it'll be one of the best individual feats of modern football.

What an absolute phenomenon career he's had.

TheadoreT

And a 2nd, that should be game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Incredible what he's doing at 39.

breezy1985

Maybe I'm being mean but I think it would be hilarious to see them get a clean sheet for Boneras first game in charge

Mr.Nice Guy

Mertens pulls one back to make a game of it.

Well, maybe not. Bakayoko sent off.

Jinxed it

ERG89

Zlatan even after not playing in the International break gets injured, yet another soft tissue injury. Big blow to Milan that if that is as serious as it looked.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hopefully it won't keep him out long.

Table is looking exciting. Great to see Sassuolo still going strong.

TheadoreT

Good to see a side actually earning their 3 points again Napoli this year.

Juve creeping back up. Would rather 6 teams being a point behind Milan than having them 4 behind

Certainly is. Top eight separated by only 6 points. Roma were quite impressive today. Mkhitariyan scored a cracking volley for their second.

Roma have been impressive but can’t see them maintaining a title challenge. Similar for Sassuolo. I think it will be a three horse race between the Milan’s and Juve, with Milan dropping off first. Maybe Lazio might get a run, think it will depend on how they fair in the champions league with the squad they have. Interesting season for sure.

Ps, super goals by Roma.

Lovely goal from Gagliardini to put Inter 3-0 up against Sassuolo.

Headshot

Some game in Italy at the moment

Lazio 1-3 Udinese

ERG89

Quit doing this Milan, I'm half getting my hopes up.

TheadoreT

Mind the gap, Milan showing they can do it sans Zlatan.

Low key been the most in form team in europe since June. Their post lockdown league record if they win today is is 16 wins 5 draws 0 loses.

The San Siro is already half falling apart so I say condemn it and keep the fans out forever.
We've been unstoppable since lockdown

TheadoreT

Surprised Saelemaekers hasnt made Belgiums nation leagues squads when scrubbers like Nacer Chadli still gets in.
