Yes.
Midweek serie A roundup after catching up with the highlights -
Inter were the big winners after shithousing their way to a 1-0 victory against 10 man Napoli thanks to a Lukaku Penalty.
Napoli had them at their mercy but just could not find a finish for all the chances they created.
Juventus and Atalanta produced an entertaining 1-1 draw with two very good goals (Chiesa and Freuler).
Morata produced a miss of the season contender while the usually reliable Ronaldo missed a penalty.
Milan again clawed back to draw the match after going behind at Genoa which ended 2-2.
They are looking leggy with their narrow squad feeling the effects of the Thursday/Sunday grind.
Very early lead for Milan vs Sassuolo.
Fuck, they just made it 2-0 on a really good breakaway. Tonali does really well on the break to prevent offside. Awareness

That's one way of saying it, that was the fastest ever Serie A goal. 
6,8 seconds.
Ilicic just changed the game for Atalanta after coming on a half time. One goal down to 3-1 up.
Muriel is probably the best super sub going around. His scoring rate after coming on in second half is insane.
Morata hasn't stopped being a numpty who needs a billion chances. Glad we never went for him.
Top 3 most productive players in Europe. Wtf
I wouldn't necessarily say that. If someone has 15 goals and 6 assists they wouldn't have 8+7, but still be more productive.
15 goals and no assists would do it too.
Fair enough I misread that tweet actually. Still incredibly productive
It was definitely worded to be misleading. 5 of his 7 goals were scored in two games too.
That said I agree, by all accounts he's been very good for them this season. He had a season where he scored 20 and assisted 20 for Dortmund too I think. Mkhi's problem has always been that he works better in environments where there isn't much pressure on him to perform. He's pretty one-note and needs the right setup and low expectations.
I wonder how much we would be asked to pay for a player from Seria A, who has scored 8 and assisted another 8 in 16 games this season.
Incredible pass by bastoni
Conte’s first win over Juve!

Holy shit.
Wowza, that assist is worth 2 goals. Nice finish too
That finish too. No wonder Skriniar is finding it hard to get ahead of Bastoni
Pirlo would be proud.
This bloke scored another brace today to send Milan clear at the top of the table. 12 goals in 8 league games this season. 23rd season in a row where he has scored in a national top division.
He's one of the last truly great characters, and players, left in football.
Milan getting hammered by Atalanta, if we wanted an experienced pro we should have left Willian alone and gone for Ilicic , he is fantastic.
I don’t want Willian any more than you do but what makes you think Ilisic was as available as a free Willian?
Weston Mckennie is playing some unreal football. From a nothing player in Schalke to one of the best B2B in europe currently. Some transformation
He was good at Schalke. I saw a lot of him after the restart and was extremely impressed.
He was closer to nothing player than to good. A few decent performances but you have been watching someone else if you were extremely impressed because Schalke as a whole were absolutely dogshit, they won just one game in 2020

That's partly why he stood out so much to me. He was everywhere on the pitch, their best attacker and their best defender.
Anyone see the bust up between former teammates Lukaku and Zlatan?
It was good TV. This is what you want to see in derbies, players hating each other, none of this PC shit.
It's all about the football itself for me. A good football match will still be good even though it doesn't have two players angrily leaning their heads against each other, and a bad football match won't be saved by it happening either.

People saying Zlatan is racist for telling Lukaku to go do his "voodoo shit"
Can't believe this guys been talking about himself in third person for ages and people are still lapping it up.
I read that tweet in "HULK SMASH" voice …
Just scored his 500th career goal today to put Milan ahead against Crotone:
I love that assist from Rafael Leao by the way. Underrated player.
2-0 now, Ibrahimovic again, easy tap-in this time. Milan are two points clear at the top of Serie A. When was the last time a player had this kind of impact on a team?
And now Rebic is making it 4-0 to Milan with two goals within a minute. Incredible.
Big result in Serie A as Napoli beat Juventus 1-0 thanks to a Insigne penalty.
Relieves the pressure on Gattusso who has been dealing with lot of injuries and loss of form from his important players.
That settles it surely. I don't think Juve were much more likely to catch up in the table going into this game, but they could be 10 points behind Milan in about two hours. Their scudetto dominance is going to be broken this season and Serie A will be so much better off for it.
