ROMA 3 (Ljajic 46, Gervinho 60, Totti 82 Pen)

Ljajic tapped in Gervinho's centre to give Roma the lead in first half injury time. Hallfredsson equalised four minutes into the second half with a punching low drive into the right corner from ? lay off. Gervinho cut in from the left to blast Roma back into the lead. A farcical dive gave Roma their third to pull within six points of Juventus.

CAGLIARI 1 (Sau 29)
MILAN 2 (Balotelli 87 fk, Pazzini 90)

Pinilla chipped a terrible goalkick to Sau and he turned Bonera inside out before tapping into an empty net. Cagliari paid the price for trying to play out time as Milan hit back with two late goals. Balotelli curled in a free kick and Pazzini, on for the bone idle wretch Robinho, hooked in a Honda corner.

LIVORNO 3 (Greco 5, Paulinho 11, Benassi 26)
SASSUOLO 1 (Berardi 28 Pen)

Livorno came into this match on the back of a terrible run but Sassuolo have performed much better against the big teams than their fellow relegation candidates. Greco pulled away at the back post to volley in Benassi's high cross. Paulinho blasted in a second from the edge of the box. Emeghara sucked in Sassuolo defenders before passing out wide to Benassi for their third. Sansone's swan dive won Berardi a penalty.

FIORENTINA 3 (Aquilani 33 Pen, Aquilani 42, Aquilani 57)
GENOA 3 (Gilardino 27 Pen, Antonini 33, De Maio 77)

Antonini won the first penalty with a massive dive. De Maio sacked Ambrosini for Fiorentina's penalty. Roncaglia was caught trying to bring the ball out of defence and Matuzalem put in Antonini for Genoa's second. Ambrosini was hit by a wall as he tried to shoot, Aquilani gathered the ball, pushed it into his right foot and fired past Perrin. Aquilani completed his hat-trick with a rasping drive from the right of the penalty box to give Fiorentina the lead for the first time but once again Fiorentina's shocking defence proved to be their downfall as everyone ball watched a corner and De Maio poked in at the back post.

NAPOLI 1 (Albiol 88)
CHIEVO 1 (Sardo 18)

Sardo gave Chievo the lead with a brilliant half volley. Albiol got a lucky break off a defender to equalise.

LAZIO 1 (Candreva 27 Pen)
JUVENTUS 1 (Llorente 60)

VT showed Buffon was struggling during the pre match warm up and that possibly played a part in his Peruzzi style rush off his line to take down Klose for the penalty. Storari made a couple of brilliant saves. Llorente rescued a point for Juve with an excellent flick header.

Juve's record run of successive victories comes to an end at 12 but there's little danger of them dropping more points next week as they host an Inter side that have only won one of their last six. I wonder if Inter miss out on Europe all together they'll sack Mazzarri? He's terrible with young players and Inter have three of the best in Europe (Kovacic, Icardi and Belfodil).

Attendance : 51,000
Assists : Klose (won pen), Lichtsteiner
