VERONA 1 (Toni 36 Pen)
TORINO 3 (Immobile 49, Cerci 53, El Kaddouri 61)

Bovo fouled Gomez for the penalty. Immobile equalised four minutes into the second half when he beat the Verona offside trap and shot past Rafael to continue his excellent scoring run - he's only failed to score once in his last 8 games. Cerci met El Kaddouri's centre with a fantastic first time strike into the bottom left corner then returned the favour for the Moroccan's third goal of the season.

CATANIA 3 (Izco 41 seconds, Spolli 48, Peruzzi 58)
LAZIO 1 (Mauri 46)

Izco scored within the first minute, running in from the right he cut across the ball to hammer a shot in off a post. Brilliant finish. In first half injury time Andujar made a feeble attempt to save Mauri's header - back after a six month ban for his part in the latest match fixing scandal to hit Italian football though at this stage no one knows how serious it really is. Spolli restored Catania's lead with a stunning diving header. Right back Peruzzi made a surging run into the box and played a one-two with Keko before shooting past Berisha to move the racists off bottom place.

I wonder if Lazio's shock defeat has anything to do with Mauri's return?

ATALANTA 0
PARMA 4 (Molinaro 10, Benalouane 75 og, Cassano 77 fk, Schelotto 94)

Molinaro ran onto a loose ball and fired a shot in off an Atalanta player. Benalouane tired to chest trap a cross back to his goalkeeper who promptly dropped the ball into the net. Cassano made it 3-0 with a free kick from the left edge of the penalty box though again Consigli should have saved. Schelotto finished off some slow motion build-up with an early shot which beat Consigli at his near post.

12 games unbeaten for Parma which is a club record, even going back to their glory days.

CAGLIARI 1 (Nene 64)
LIVORNO 2 (Emerson 44, Paulinho 54 Pen)

Emerson gave Livorno the lead with a ridiculous left foot shot from over 40 yards out which rocketed into the top left corner. Amazing goal. Paulinho was fouled for the penalty. Nene thumped a shot into the left corner after cutting in from the right. Benassi's red card was for a criminal scissors foul from behind on Pinilla.

Basta made a late run into the box to volley home Badu's cross. Fernandes smashed in a rebound to put the visitors two goals up. Konate's brilliant header got Genoa back in the game on the stroke of half time. Two minutes later Muriel put Udinese 1-3 up but Genoa came storming back with a Gilardino brace. He touched ? through pass to his right before sweeping a shot inside the right post then scrambled in the equaliser after a double rebound on a corner.

CHIEVO 1 (Caceres 51 og)

Asamoah played a one-two with Llorente, brought the ball onto his left foot then whipped a shot inside the left post. Great goal, shame he's hopeless at defending. Agazzi spilled a Pirlo free kick and Marchisio snared the rebound. Lichtsteiner try to blast clear a ball but it hit Caceres and bounced over Buffon. Llorente headed in a Pirlo corner to ensure Juve avoided a repeat of last weeks late collapse at Verona.

INTER 2 (Palacio 34, Icardi 65)

A Guarin through ball popped up off Palacio's chest and he turned to fire past Neto as he dived at his feet. A bad mistake by Handanovic gifted Fiorentina the equaliser but love rat Icardi scored within 10 minutes of replacing Milito when he darted between two players to tap Nagatomo's centre past Neto.
