This week saw Cesena peak the top of the league for the first time since October 1975 as they remain unbeaten with seven points from three games after a 1-0 win over Lecce, despite having Giuseppe Colucci sent off on 38 minutes, putting the former SerieB club above Inter on goal difference.
The Milan club came from behind to claim the points with a 2-1 win over Palermo in Sicily courtesy of two goals from Samuel Eto. Palermo deserved better, in truth, striking the post once and having a pair of strong penalty appeals turned down. Their president even piped up claiming,
"What do they have against Palermo? Is it bad luck or something else? Are we going back to the old style of refereeing?"
Leaving the night with a very bitter tone.
The old Lady finally got going as they brushed Udinese to one side with a 4-0 win. Despite Vincenzo Iaquinta sparking a small riot with a gesture towards the Udinese fans(which he eventually had to apologise about), Juventus where impressive. With goals from Bonucci, Quagliarella, Iaquinta, and Marchisio and Krasic looking particularly lively, as they finally looked like they have some championship form about them.
Roma on the other hand where 15 minutes from their first league win of the season on Sunday as they hosted Bologna, when 2 goals from Di Vaio(who coincidentally is a life long Lazio fan who came up through the ranks at the Biancocelesti's) to end the game at 2-2. After Ranieri saying the day before;
We won some, we lost some. Sometimes we played well, sometimes we played badly … [But] I will not accept these attacks. This is a team that has balls, and we will prove it.
when asked about his clubs season so far, its the same old, funny and slightly concerning news in Rome.
The rest of the fixtures saw Bari and Cagliari come to a goalless draw, Brescia went to Chievo to pick up their second win of the season. Lazio beat Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi 2-1, Milan slipped up and dropped two points at home to Catania and Napoli scored 2 goals in the last 7 minutes to win 2-1 at Sampdoria.
